About this block
Sofa with open bentwood arms and three back cushions, drawn in front elevation. It measures 8' 11" wide and 3' 0" high (2.72 m × 91 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.

In practice
Where it goes
The open bentwood arms let light through, so it works on elevations where the sofa stands in front of a window or a glazed screen in a hotel lounge, a spa reception or a wood-clad house. The three back cushions divide the 8 ft 11 in (272 cm) length into visible seats on the interior elevation, which helps when counting capacity for a waiting area.
Clearances to leave
Three cushions over 8 ft 11 in (272 cm) give each sitter roughly 36 in (90 cm), generous even for a lobby, so three side-by-side seats are not a squeeze. Allow 36 in (90 cm) in front for passing traffic, 15½–17½ in (40–45 cm) to a coffee table, and note the 36 in (91 cm) back just tops a window sill at the same height.
Pairs with
In plan draw it as the Three-seat sofa with rounded track arms, put the Rectangular coffee table with inset top in front and hang the Cluster of three faceted glass pendant lamps at one end; a natural ash frame with cream cushions.

Design notes
- Hang shelves or art 12" to 23½" above the sofa back so heads clear them.
- A floor lamp beside the sofa should light the seat: its shade sits a little above a seated person's eyes.
- Keep the wall composition about two thirds of the sofa width for a balanced elevation.
