This is the kind of niche old content the Internet was know for! Kudos.
I remember quite vividly a Geocities page that had wiring diagrams for a ton of Realistic brand CB radios my friend and I used to build an adapter for the DIN microphone.
Any call outs for ones that are especially comfortable?
Appears 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.
Random statement but no arm rests on many of those. My arms awkwardly dangle
Apparently some people do!
I have an exceptionally tall torso and normal arms though so it’s quite rare for my elbow to actually reach an arm rest.
For added aviation realism, the shuttle seats should have been worn and stained and covered by fake sheepskin seat covers.
At least the set designers had style! Some nice designs there, for sure! If only someine would have thought of, I don't know, seat belts...

Is it the Omnific Chair? It looks bog standard and mentions Enterprise-D courtroom
I’ll need to do some digging through the episode when I’m out of this meeting!
That's quite a comprenensive list. I like that some of the Lower Decks designers include some of these, too! A nice touch of detail.
I cannot fathom how someone has the attention to analyze these shows to note the chairs being used. Frankly, the Stokke Globe Garden is so far in the background of the Lower Decks screen capture that I can't understand how someone picked up on it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's because I. the future people ... uh ... someone please finish this sentence for me.
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.
Someone 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!
