I’ve recently been looking through this unbelievably detailed list/history of the chairs appearing in all the different Trek series/movies. Thought you all might enjoy!

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.

This is amazing

[–] motorwerks@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

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.

I’ve always had a fascination with trek furniture. I never knew anyone else did!

@Snowcano @DiogenesTheIdealist love Star Trek Strange New Worlds

This is cool, thanks for sharing!

Very much on-brand that while the federation have lots of fancy comfy chairs, Quark just went to Ikea

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago
