Commercially Available Chairs in Star Trek
ex-astris-scientia.orgWell that was quite the rabbit hole. Makes me want to actually watch the newer shows (Picard and Discovery).
They aren’t that great, but Lower Decks is a fantastic ode to Berman era trek and a good show in its own right.
What a wonderful resource!
And so many chairs that don't look like they were designed for humans.
Worf's ball chair https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/database/chairs/stokke-gl... is my favorite of the bunch.
To me, it deconstructs the function of a chair by focusing only on the intersection points of the chair, and the human body.
People sit in them to do jobs that weren’t designed for humans.
Of course those jobs where designed for people. What do you think the people who designed the jobs were planning on using?
“Workers”, human or not is irrelevant.
