I love the creativity of the set and prop people using existing things like this.
I remember seeing the same kind of cassette case that I had used as a prop on TNG (and apparently DS9) https://www.yourprops.com/Starfleet-Carry-Case-Large-replica...

Re: Commercially available chairs in Star Trek
#12Someone in the props department had a massive furniture budget. I love it. It reminds me how the "chair" is one of those objects supposedly so hard to classify for things like machines, a little easier for humans. Although may of these designs cause even my brain to struggle with, "Is that a chair?" Some reminded me of the Wood Allen bit from Sleeper : https://youtu.be/H4ZBPz4DinU?si=OM5TOpkumyNwPOvG
They sure had a tremendous furniture budget! I guess the wardroom department was jealous!

#13this is fantastic. I can tell that Star Trek has had a little bit of influence in the chairs that I like.

#14Appears to be missing the painfully bog-standard office roller chair used in the center of the court in the courtroom episode of TNG where Data needs to plead with Starfleet not to be disassembled for research.
It might be on there, it’s a huge list, but I could not find it.

#15For added aviation realism, the shuttle seats should have been worn and stained and covered by fake sheepskin seat covers.
Indeed, with paint flaking off the instrument panels and label-maker labels stuck everywhere!

#16Random statement but no arm rests on many of those. My arms awkwardly dangle
That's because I. the future people ... uh ... someone please finish this sentence for me.

And yet others, at least in isolation, don't look very futuristic at all. At most just kind of awkward.

Apparently, in the future people don't need or want to rest their arms.
By itself, this is uncharacteristically dystopian for Star Trek because it suggests people will relax so much less that arm rests are unnecessary. Strange because Star Trek usually presents a more optimistic picture of the future.
That futuristic look is more important.

#20Any call outs for ones that are especially comfortable?
