Furniture Clearances

 1. 40 cm minimum clearances for single passage not a traffic lane

between low objects such as sofa and coffee tables.
 2. 60 cm minimum clearances for single passage not a traffic lane
between tall objects hip height or over.
 3. 100 cm minimum clearances for general traffic lane. As room
increases in sizes, this minimum distance also increase to maintain space
scale of the room.
 4. 90 cm minimum tolerance for confined seating areas. For instance,
between desk and a wall which permits one person to pass at the back of
an occupied chair. The minimum distances constitute no major traffic
lane.
