Two-seat sofa with square arms and two-tier back
Free CAD block from the Sofas library (193 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Two-seat sofa with square arms and two-tier back, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the elevations drawn to match the plan. It measures 4' 6" wide, 2' 3" deep and 2' 7" high (1.36 m × 69 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
Hotel suite living areas, executive offices and apartment living rooms take this two-seater. On an office plan it faces the desk across the room as the visitor seating; on a residential plan it sits opposite the screen wall. The square arms and the double rear line of the two-tier back give it a sharp, boxy outline that survives reduction to ⅛ in = 1 ft (1:100).
Clearances to leave
Keep 40–48 in (100–120 cm) between it and an office chair if it faces a desk, and 16–18 in (40–45 cm) to a low table. At 54 in (136 cm) it seats two comfortably at 27 in (68 cm) each, and the 27 in (69 cm) depth leaves 36 in (91 cm) in a 63 in (160 cm) bay, clearing the 36 in (90 cm) route.
Pairs with
Add the Armchair with wide square arms and two-tier back at one end, or step up to the Three-seat sofa with square arms and two-tier back in a longer room. The TV console with slatted doors and splayed legs sits opposite in a matching walnut.
