They may well not be in the public domain, of course, in which case I'll just do it from a photo. It just seems that there are so many models around that the CAD drawings must exist somewhere!
i've got two or three decent versions of the chair and ottoman (all free), but i'm not clear now whether you'd like them, or rather the drawings to model from ?

i suspect when all is said and done, you'd prefer not to model them.....

i believe the best one i have comes from the knoll collection (the manufacturer). you can download the entire 3D collection yourself , but it takes a lot of time (1gb).

individually, the models are a bit poly-heavy as well. i have some simpler ones with less detail on the cushions which look fine to me.

send me a message and we can discuss the best option.
