Rectangular desk with armchair and two visitor chairs
Free CAD block from the Minimalist tables and chairs library (132 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Rectangular desk with armchair and two visitor chairs, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the front and side elevations projected from its 3D model with hidden lines removed. It measures 6' 7" wide, 7' 10" deep and 2' 11" high (2.00 m × 2.40 m × 88 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 Minimalist tables and chairs library: 132 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A desk with the occupant's armchair behind and two visitor chairs in front is the office of a principal, a bank manager, a consultant or a doctor, and the block is laid out for a build-out plan of exactly that room. Place the desk with the armchair backing onto the window and the visitor chairs facing it, the door off to one side.
Clearances to leave
The arrangement is 6 ft 7 in by 7 ft 10 in (200 by 240 cm) with both rows of chairs. Allow 40 in (100 cm) behind the armchair so it rolls clear of the desk, 36 in (90 cm) behind the visitor chairs and 48 in (120 cm) on the door side; a room about 14 ft 1 in (4.3 m) deep works.
Pairs with
Add the Armchair with bolster back and cross-marked cushion in a corner for longer meetings and the Large L-shaped corner desk with office chair for the secretary's room next door. Draw a bookcase on the wall behind the armchair for the elevation.

Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 6' 7" wide, 7' 10" deep and 2' 11" 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.
