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...

They sure had a tremendous furniture budget! I guess the wardroom department was jealous!
Wardrobe? Star Trek didn't even have a wardroom, just replicators, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardroom :-)

Is it the Omnific Chair? It looks bog standard and mentions Enterprise-D courtroom
Sure looks like what I was remembering! The listed `TNG: "The Drumhead"` also sure looks like the courtroom I remember but is not the episode I was referring to. I may have been remembering the wrong courtroom episode, I was thinking it was from “Measure of a Man” but all my Googling only shows red more interesting chairs in that episode. I’ll need to do some digging through the episode when I’m out of this meeting!
This podcast was inspired by the chain in The Drumhead

DS9 had a wardroom, Sisko got promoted there https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Wardroom

In a world where "inertial dampeners" exist and making invisible forcefields is pedestrian, physical seatbelts aren't terribly important. If inertial dampeners outright fail in a spacecraft designed for them you can expect to be reduced to a souplike homogenate whether you're wearing a seatbelt or not.
Course, given the accelerations in Star Trek you are red smudge without them anyway. But then there is all the flowing around around the bridge, engineering, everytime a ship is hit... Maybe a seatbelt wouod have helped! Or some space space suits, proper footware for away missions. Alongside clothing...

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.
I'd bet a lot of this relies on insider information -- a props supervisor and fan of the site may have gone out of their way to share the detail.

Starfleet is the Federation's solution to the existence of type-A personalities, giving them something exciting and challenging to do in order to prevent them from screwing up the socialist utopia for everyone else. All Starfleet technology is optimized not for efficiency , but for excitement ; giving Starfleet personnel brushes with danger, interesting puzzles to solve, and opportunities to improvise and collaborate…
As I looked through the shots of the chairs in the episodes, I noticed that the old shows had some wild lighting: sometimes like a Halloween set, sometimes like a task light was just set up on a tripod next to the camera, and sometimes like a cube farm. The new shows all seem to go for web developer's / Twitch streamer's dungeon with no overhead lighting, wall-mounted spotlights, and RGB rim lights everywhere.
