I've created furniture assets before, but I haven't designed furniture with BB, yet.
The one drawback I see, if you're using BB to design furniture, would be the lack of access to advanced geometry. Lofting, sweeping along paths, sweeping along different sections along a path, revolving a profile, etc. All of this stuff is doable with IFC, and IFCopenshell, but there hasn't been interfaces created in BB yet, for them.
So, you can use Blender's vanilla modifiers to do all the above, but you'd have to 'bake' the modifier before saving it to the IFC. Which would be a pain, if you're 'designing'--and want to retain the intelligence of your parametric geometry.
I did a tiny project for a "bed house" and some parametric pieces with sverchok and python. What would you like to achieve? Create workshop drawings for a furniture piece?
