patio furniture request

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi would anyone be willing to model some patio furniture and save as a library part for me. I have had a look for existing similar library parts on BIMComponents and other object sites but can't find anything either suitable or has the realism I am after. I would prefer to include this within the model as I am using BimX for my clients.
I don't have the time or know how to achieve the realism and softness of the cushions.
I would like a 3 seat sofa and a matching single seat sofa or the sofa could be a parametric part that allows it to adjust to 1-3 cushion widths
refer to attached image below of the look I am trying to achieve

Overall Dimensions (mm)
Three seat Sofa W2100 x D780 x H860
Single Seat Sofa W860 x D850 x H640

Frame Dimensions (mm)
Width 60 x Thickness 25
Top of cushion seat H450. Cushion seat thickness 170

If you need any other dimensions please let me know.

Fabric and frame materials to be able to be changed

I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide this

Thank you

Solution
The Archicad 24 pillow that Barry highlighted is 3000 polygons so if you were to use this on your seat it would total 18000 polygons plus the frame which would be around 200 polygons depending on the level of detail. The total polygon count would make it very unfriendly.
So if you want it to be realistic the polygon count will be high.
I will put some thought into a parametric cushion that you can control the resolution for, but I fear the issue of realism over polygon count will still exist in such an element.
