Download the Elephant Chair in front and side elevation, 16⅞″ high (430 mm), drawn to real size. Charles & Ray Eames designed the original piece. It is one of 43 drawings in the Iconic chairs & tables pack.
You get the same block twice, as an inch DWG and a millimeter DWG, saved in AutoCAD 2000 format with the insertion point at 0,0. Use cadgrid-elephant-chair-front-side-elevation_in.dwg in drawings set up in inches and cadgrid-elephant-chair-front-side-elevation_mm.dwg in drawings set up in millimeters.
Standard seat height is about 17–19″ (432–483 mm), for tables 28–30″ (711–762 mm) high. Next to the 6 ft figure in the drawing above, it comes up to below knee height.
Working outside CAD? The same drawing also comes as a DXF for other CAD programs, a PDF for printing, a PNG with a transparent background for slides and mood boards and an SVG you can edit in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma.
Common questions
What size is the Elephant Chair drawn at?
It measures 16⅞″ high (430 mm) in front and side elevation, taken from the outer edges of the drawing. The page shows the same sizes in both units next to the drawing.
Do I need to scale the block when I insert it?
Both. cadgrid-elephant-chair-front-side-elevation_in.dwg is drawn in inches (INSUNITS 1) and cadgrid-elephant-chair-front-side-elevation_mm.dwg in millimeters (INSUNITS 4). Insert the one that matches your drawing at scale 1 and the block comes in at its real size.
How much room does a chair need at a table?
Allow 24″ (610 mm) from the table edge to stand up, and 36″ (914 mm) if people need to walk behind the chair.
Can I use this elephant chair outside AutoCAD?
Yes. Use the DXF in other CAD programs, the PNG with its transparent background in slides, documents and mood boards, the SVG to edit it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and the PDF to print it or send it to someone without CAD.
