- Understanding Scale
In the image below you can see the measurements of a standard chair shown in centimetres.
In the image below you can see the measurements of a standard chair shown in centimetres.
Image above: 1:1 Scale (real size)
You will draw your chair at 1:10 scale. This means you will divide all your measurements into 10 like below.

2. Steps to drawing your chair design
Step 1: Draw your front view at 1:10 scale.
REMEMBER: Seat height is 4.6cm and seat width is minimum 4.5cm.
Step 2: Draw your vertical and horizontal projection lines.
Step 3: Draw your top view lined up with the projection lines.
REMEMBER: Seat depth is minimum 4.3cm.
Step 4: Draw your side view lined up with the projection lines.
