If you are fascinated by this sort of thing, In US architectural practice, Architectural Graphic Standard has been the standard for the sizes of things for nearly a century. Even the old "Student Edition" is a rabbit hole book.
From the name, I thought it was going to be about fractal dimensions[1] (:
So on that tangent ... you can measure that value for ordinary objects using the "box counting" method[2], to get a notion of objects being "1.3 D" and such.
I can not make out how those things were chosen. A lot of Ikea furniture, a random selection of bollards, Dolly Parton, and a Yellow-Spotted Millipede.
