We all know that Matt Jefferies based his starship captain’s chair on the real article. Click to the next page to see the real origin of the chair, and a great bit of set dressing trivia.
The original Star Trek captain’s chair was built from a 1963 Madison chair.
This version was especially handy for a captain, and first officer who are literally joined at the hip.
The modify=existing-objects production design aesthetic continues throughout Trek history. Every time I watch DS9 with the Wife, she spots something from either Pier 1 or Ikea. Made it easy to obtain Starfleet-spec coffee mugs, too.
Which button activates the massage feature?
Hmmmmm. Where have I seen one of those before? LOL
Having sat in a couple of Captain’s chair replicas, it is always nice to find one that is well done.
Wow, would’ya check that out. Too friggin’ cool. Who knew, not me. I’d love to find one of those one day eh.
