Oversized armchair with plump arms and throw pillow
Free CAD block from the Sofas library (193 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Oversized armchair with plump arms and throw pillow, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the elevations drawn to match the plan. It measures 3' 4" wide, 2' 11" deep and 2' 7" high (1.00 m × 88 cm × 80 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Sofas library: 193 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Media rooms, family rooms, a reading nook in a large apartment and the lounge of a hotel suite are where a meter-wide (39 in) armchair makes sense. Draw it on the plan facing the screen or angled to the fire; the plump arms and the throw pillow give it a soft outline at ¼ in = 1 ft (1:50), easy to tell apart from the squarer chairs in the library.
Clearances to leave
A full meter (39 in) wide and 35 in (88 cm) deep, it takes the floor of a small loveseat, so give it 24 in (60 cm) on the open side and 18 in (45 cm) to a table. Set a 65 in screen between 2.5 and 8–13 ft (4 m) away and keep the rest of the group within 10 ft (3 m) of it.
Pairs with
It belongs with the Three-seat sofa with plump arms and three pillows and the Two-seat sofa with plump arms and throw pillow, and the Plump armchair with puffy rounded arms makes an alternative at the far end. Chenille over the set reads as one.

It measures 3' 4" | 1.00 m wide by 2' 11" | 88 cm deep. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 3' 3" wide, 2' 10" deep and 2' 7" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.
