About this asset

Traditional curved slatted timber defines this Savonarola armchair Revit family, featuring a crossed curule base and carved backrest. Constructed from light-toned natural timber, the chair exhibits a historical Savonarola or curule silhouette. Interlocking curved wooden ribs form the characteristic X-frame scissor base and upward sweeping seat cradle, anchored at the floor by parallel wooden stretchers. A smooth square central seat rests flush against the ribbed curvature. Above, straight-edged timber armrests extend forward from an arched back rail detailed with an ornamental central cutout handle. Visible metal pivot hardware joins the scissor assembly, giving the piece its distinctive articulated craftsmanship and warm, natural wood appearance.

The download is a 2.6 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

This furniture family loads directly into standard Revit projects for level-hosted placement in floor plans or 3D interior views. The geometry populates cleanly in shaded, realistic, and rendered visual styles without excessively dense linework in orthographic drawings. Material mapping parameters can be adjusted in the family type properties to switch wood species or match surrounding custom joinery across comprehensive interior millwork schedules.

Suited to residential living spaces, boutique hospitality suites, private studies, and historic restoration interiors, this accent piece brings antique character to interior schemes. It functions effectively as a fireside seat, an entryway feature chair, or an occasional library stool alongside classic timber bookcases. Interior visualisers and architects specifying heritage seating, curule armchairs, or traditional Italian Dante chairs can readily integrate this unit into decorative presentation drawings.
