The chairs of Trek
(www.ex-astris-scientia.org)
Nothing to comment except this:
I always appreciated that Worf had bold taste in furniture and that it was appropriately abstract that it appeared “alien” in differentiation from the often banal Starfleet standard designs we saw everywhere that were also pretty cool but very repetitive and boring, neutral colors.
Garden chair by Danish designer Peter Opsvik. It promoted the concept of "best position is next position" in regards to sitting posture and ergonomics. Actually pretty nice to sit in - worth trying out if you happen to see one irl.
It's in there! Listed as the Stokke Barstool. They are not cheap.
~$2500USD/ea, for anyone else as curious as me
Very much on-brand that while the federation have lots of fancy comfy chairs, Quark just went to Ikea
Of course there is a detailed list of all the chairs that have appeared in Star Trek. I never thought I'd say this about chairs but... interesting.
If you like that you may also enjoy this three part series on the furniture used in the SNW sets!
This is cool, thanks for sharing!
Wow! Just, wow. Such a detailed & complete database of interesting knowledge that I fully appreciate, but will never use. I commend you in the highest form.
What a fantastic resource!
I’ve always had a fascination with trek furniture. I never knew anyone else did!
The irony of using an Emeco Navy Chair for the NAZIs in ENT: "Stormfront."
This is awsome!
There’s also this book as well on TOS. Star Trek: Designing the Final Frontier: How Midcentury Modernism Shaped Our View of the Future https://a.co/d/1DOfrhH
Wow yeah that looks really cool!
