Countless off-the-shelf office chairs, lounge chairs or car seats appeared in Star Trek productions. Here is a list of the models that we found, among them many design classics.

See also a list of unidentified chairs and help us track their origin.

Lounge Seating

Chair name	Seen in	Screen caps	Comments
A1155 Accent Chair	Admiral Clancy's office	PIC: "Maps and Legends"	Available at House of Denmark.
Armondo Loveseat	Titan-A crew quarters	PIC: "Seventeen Seconds"	Available at Zuri Furniture.
Artifort F300	Earth Spacedock lounge Enterprise-D quarters	"Star Trek: The Search for Spock" TNG: "The Naked Now" TNG: "Too Short a Season"	This chair was designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in 1967. In Tasha's quarters in TNG: "The Naked Now" we can see an Artifort F300 with a red standard cover. The seat covers of the chairs in guest quarters seen later in the series were probably custom-made, to blend into the pastel color palette of the set design.
Artifort F549 Tulip Midi	Enterprise-D quarters Enterprise-D sickbay office Vissian ship	TNG: "The Loss" ENT: "Cogenitor"	This chair was designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in 1960. Troi's chair probably has a custom-made cover so the color matches the other furniture.
Artifort F582 Ribbon Chair	Stratos, Ardana	TOS: "The Cloud Minders"	The F582 or Ribbon Chair was designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in the 1960's. It comes in many different colors.
Artifort F598 Groovy	Enterprise-D quarters Enterprise-D lounges	TNG: "Haven" TNG: "Liaisons"	This chair was designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in the 1960's.
Balzo sofa set	Starling's office	VOY: "Future's End I"	Designed by Massimo Iosa Ghini for Moroso in 1987.
Barcelona Chair	Admiral Janeway's apartment (alternate future)	VOY: "Endgame"	Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929.
Brigadier Sofa	Voyager mess hall	VOY: "11:59"	Designed by Cini Boeri for Knoll in 1977.
Bubble Chair	Aenar city	ENT: "The Aenar"	Designed by Christian Daninos for Laroche in 1968.
Cardona Swivel Lounge Chair	SNW-Enterprise ready room	SNW: "A Quality of Mercy"	Cardona is manufactured by Sunpan. It seems the red variation is not commercially available.
Chadwick Modular Sofa	Spock's quarters on the DIS-Enterprise	DIS: "Brother"	Designed by Don Chadwick for Herman Miller. Similar modular sofas can be seen in Counselor Troi's office on the Enterprise-D and in Voyager's ready room, but those two are of a different type.
Chromcraft Sculpta Unicorn	Deep Space K-7 Sigma Draconis VI The Burnhams' lab	TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles" TOS: "Spock's Brain" DIS: "Perpetual Infinity"	This chair from the 1960's is often attributed to Vladimir Kagan, but he didn't work for Chromcraft. Kagan actually designed the Unicorn Chair with its similar looking base.
ClassiCon Bibendum	Worf's quarters Crusher's quarters Voyager crew quarters Vissian ship	TNG: "A Fistful of Datas" TNG: "Suspicions"	Designed by Eileen Gray for ClassiCon in 1929. This chair is named for the Michelin mascot (the Tyre Man) - an obvious choice. It seems Worf is very fond of classic designer chairs. While he is sitting on the Bibendum, we can see the Stokke Globe Garden by Peter Opsvik in the background.
Cobra Pipeline Sofa	Stardust City Reproductive Health Services	PIC: "Stardust City Rag"	Designed by Johannes Foersom & Peter Hiort-Lorenzen for Erik Jørgensen Møbelfabrik in 1986.
Corona Chair	Sikla Medical Facility on Malcor III Stardust City Reproductive Health Services	TNG: "First Contact" PIC: "Stardust City Rag"	Designed by Poul Volther in 1964.

Directional Lounge Chair	Enterprise-D quarters Enterprise-E quarters Admiral Freeman's apartment	TNG: "The Battle" TNG: "Half a Life" LOW: "Grounded"	Designed by Vladimir Kagan in the 1970's and apparently not produced any longer.
DS-1025 Terrazza	Sneed's place on M'Ttalas Prime 32nd century Federation Headquarters	PIC: "Disengage" DIS: "Jinaal"	This sofa is available from de Sede, Switzerland.
EJ6 Ø-Chair	Starbase 173	TNG: "The Measure of a Man"	Designed by Torben Skov for Erik Jørgensen in 1986.
Elda Lounge Chair	Romulan commander's room on D7	TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"	The chair was designed by Joe Colombo in 1963. Colombo also designed the Boby Taboret, which can be seen in several Star Trek productions as a medical or engineering tool cart.
Field Lounge Chair	SNW-Enterprise crew quarters	SNW: "Ghosts of Illyria"	Manufactured by Blu Dot, an American furniture and home goods company.
Floating Sofa by William Andrus	SS Eleos bridge	PIC: "The Next Generation"	Designed by William Andrus for Steelcase around 1970. Made of fiberglass with a transparent base. The sofa in PIC was newly upholstered. The matching chair was also present on the Eleos but never clearly visible.
Harp Chair	Spock's quarters on the Enterprise-A	"Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country"	The harp chair was designed by Jorgen Hovelskov in Denmark in 1963.
hm85 Solo	Admiral Pike's office	"Star Trek Into Darkness"	Designed by Simon Pengelly for Hitch Mylius. This chair comes in different variants, without and with headrest, with legs or with a swivel base.
Human Being Chair	Aenar city	ENT: "The Aenar"	Designed by Pascal Bauer and Gigi Rigamonti for Sturm und Plastic in 2004.
Kilkis Chair	Silaran Prin's hiding place	DS9: "The Darkness and the Light"	Designed by Titina Ammannati & Giampiero Vitelli for Brunati in 1985. Indeed, this chair looks totally 80's!
LC2 Petit Confort Sofa & Armchair	Libby's apartment in San Francisco (alternate reality)	VOY: "Non Sequitur"	The three-seater and the matching armchair (which can be briefly glimpsed in Libby's apartment too) were designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand in 1928.
Lincoln Lounge Chair	Discovery crew quarters	DIS: "The Red Angel"	These lounge chairs are available from the Canadian company Sunpan.
Lobster Chair	Discovery ready room	DIS: "New Eden"	Designed by Oluf Lund and Eva Paarmann in 2008, produced by Bruunmuch.
Madison Dimension 2400	Original Enterprise captain's chair	TOS: "Wink of an Eye"	The chair was designed by Arthur Umanoff in th 1950's. It was heavily modified and extended for the captain's chair, but the original armrests are still visible.
Madison Swivel Chair	Captain Pike's quarters on the Enterprise	"The Cage"	Also designed by Arthur Umanoff, this chair belongs to a similar line as the Dimension lounge chair above.
Mayan Sofa	Enterprise-D crew lounge	TNG: "Hide and Q"	Designed by Harvey Probber in 1983.
Meridiana Chair	Coppelius Station	PIC: "Et in Arcadia Ego II"	Designed by Christophe Pillet for Driade in 2004.
Model 248	Cochrane's house	TOS: "Metamorphosis"	Designed by Clement Meadmore in 1963. As the user sinks into the seat, the steel edges of the seat are meant to serve as armrests.
Model 576	Sam Kirk's home on Deneva	TOS: "Operation - Annihilate!"	Designed by Lawrence Peabody for Selig in the 1960's.
Modern Sectional Sofa	Enterprise-D crew quarters Enterprise-D lounges Prometheus crew quarters Voyager crew quarters	TNG: "The Neutral Zone" DS9: "Second Sight" VOY: "Persistence of Vision"	This sofa was sold by Preview and is often attributed to Vladimir Kagan, although he may not be the actual designer. It appears that it usually came as a six-piece set as depicted in the leftmost column.
Modesty Veiled Armchair	32nd century Federation Headquarters	DIS: "Jinaal"	Designed by Italo Rota for Driade.
Mushroom Chair	Enterprise-D quarters Enterprise-E quarters	TNG: "The Naked Now" TNG: "Ménage à Troi"	Designed by Pierre Paulin. It seems a metallic ring was added as a new base for these chairs when they appeared on TNG, so they would be taller.
Nautilus Chair	Yanas Tigan's house	DS9: "Prodigal Daughter"	Designed by Vladimir Kagan for Directional, ca. 1970's.
Optima Chair	Scotty's quarters on the Enterprise-D	TNG: "Relics"	Designed by Ingmar Relling for Westnova in 1988.
Ox Chair	Dr. Soong's lab Annorax's weapon ship	TNG: "Brothers" VOY: "Year of Hell I"	Designed by Hans Wegner for AP Stolen, ca. 1960.
Pearson International Airport Lounge Chair	SNW-Enterprise crew quarters	SNW: "Spock Amok"	Designed by Stefan Siwinski in 1964 for Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
Platner Arm Chair	Eminiar VII Counselor Troi's office on the Enterprise-D	TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon" TNG: "The Icarus Factor"	Designed by Warren Platner for Knoll in 1966. The chair in Troi's office (with a custom cover to match with the sofa) will later be replaced with the Artifort F549.
Platner Lounge Chair	Eminiar VII Counselor Troi's office on the Enterprise-D	TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon" TNG: "The Icarus Factor"	Designed by Warren Platner for Knoll in 1966. It seems that both Platner chairs always appear together on Star Trek.
President Lounge Chair 265	Kirk's apartment	"Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"	This chair was designed by Steen Ostergaard for Cado in 1968.
Prosim Sedni Lounge Chair	Mirror Terok Nor	DS9: "Crossover"	Designed by Borek Sipek for Driade in 1987.
Prosim Sni Chaise	Mirror Terok Nor	DS9: "Crossover" DS9: "Through the Looking Glass"	Designed by Borek Sipek for Driade in 1987.
Ribbon Chair by Steve Leonard	Data's quarters on the Enterprise-D Voyager ready room Trip's quarters on Enterprise NX-01	TNG: "Silicon Avatar" TNG: "The Offspring" VOY: "Scientific Method"	Designed by Steve Leonard for Brayton International in the 1970's. We can see two different colors in Data's quarters: greenish and brownish. A leather variation appears on Voyager and Enterprise.
Rocking Chaise by Milo Baughman	Enterprise-D crew quarters	TNG: "The Vengeance Factor"	Milo Baughman is a prolific designer, who designed several rocking chaises. This particular rounded model, however, is rather hard to find.
Serpentine Sectional	Counselor Troi's office on the Enterprise-D Voyager ready room	TNG: "The Loss" VOY: "The Q and the Grey"	The cross-section and the missing gap between the seat and the backrest points to this being the Serpentine Sectional by Milo Baughman, and not a similar type designed by Don Chadwick for Herman Miller. Like other pieces of furniture in Troi's office, her sofa must have received a custom cover in a matching color.
Sancarlo Armchair	Enterprise-D crew quarters	TNG: "The Dauphin"	Designed by Achille Castiglioni for Driade in 1982.
Tongue Chair	Sneed's place on M'Ttalas Prime	PIC: "Disengage"	We previously mistook this for the Smile Chair by Marcello Ziliania from 2007. But the actual design in the PIC episode is the older Tongue Chair by Jaymar Furniture from the 1980's, which can be identified because of its thin wide armrests.
Star Trek Chair	Torres/Paris quarters	VOY: "Memorial"	Designed by Robert Lazzeroni for Ceccotti in 1994. The Voyager production designers created a deep in-joke by choosing this chair as set dressing.
Stokke Ekstrem	Ocampa homeworld	VOY: "Caretaker"	This eccentric (but purportedly comfortable) chair was designed by Terje Ekstrom in 1972 but not produced until the early 80's.
Stokke Globe Garden	Tarellian ship Worf's quarters Tulgana IV USS Cerritos	TNG: "Haven" TNG: "Family" LOW: "Reflections" LOW: "Of Gods and Angles"	This very unconventional piece of furniture is often referred to as "Opsvik chair", after its designer Peter Opsvik. He designed this now iconic chair with the goal "to demolish the stereotypical ideal of the proper sitting posture".
Suspens	Ten Forward Enterprise-D crew quarters Starbase 173 Voyager crew quarters	TNG: "Q Who" TNG: "The Survivors" TNG: "Imaginary Friend" TNG: "The Measure of a Man" VOY: "Memorial"	Although the chairs in Ten Forward are sometimes attributed to Jan Ekselius, they are a later, similar design by Paul Boulva for Artopex. The taller chairs, with or without armrests, are called "Suspens".
Suspension	Ten Forward Voyager mess hall	TNG: "The Game" VOY: "Mortal Coil"	The lower variation of the chairs in Ten Forward by Paul Boulva, with or without armrests, are called "Suspension".
Swan Chair	32nd century Federation Council	DIS: "Jinaal"	Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958.
Swivel Lounge Chair by Milo Baughman	Kirk's apartment	"Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"	Designed by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin some time in the 1970's.
Swivel Rocker Club Chair by Milo Baughman	Planet Q	TOS: "The Conscience of the King"	Designed by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin some time in the 1960's.
Tatlin Spiral Sofa	Kivas Fajo's collection room	TNG: "The Most Toys"	This sofa was designed by Mario Cananzi and Roberto Semprini in 1989. It is based on the Tatlin tower by the eponymous Russian artist, a monument that was never actually erected.
Tucker Chair	Tekeny Ghemor's house Dinaal hospital	DS9: "Second Skin" VOY: "Critical Care"	Designed by Michael Wolk some time in the 1990's.
Turner Chair	Enterprise-D guest quarters	TNG: "Haven"	Designed by Dutch designer Jack Crebolder for Harvink in 1982. Only 1000 original chairs were ever manufactured. This chair also appears in the Big Bang Theory Episode "The Relaxation Integration". It could be rented from Modern Props: "Cantilevered, harlequin-style, easy chair is upholstered in white vinyl."
Vitra Park Swivel Armchair	Admiral Pike's office	"Star Trek Into Darkness"	Designed by Jasper Morrison in 2004. The swivel base and the overall proportions in the movie are a match. But the stock chair should have separate cushions. Perhaps it was newly upholstered?
Willow Chair	Ligon II Angosia III Tarquin's planet	TNG: "Code of Honor" TNG: "The Hunted" ENT: "Exile"	Designed by the prolific Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904.
Yield Swivel Chair	Admiral Clancy's office	PIC: "Maps and Legends"	Available under different brand names. The matching sofa can also be seen in Clancy's office.

The original Tulip Chair commonly comes with a round base, unlike the types that appeared in Star Trek. For the series, the chairs were heavily modified, with a backrest extension and additional triangular details on the backrest.
Burke 116	Enterprise crew quarters Enterprise sickbay office Starbase 11 USS Tsiolkovsky	TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" TNG: "The Naked Now"	This is another variation of the Burke chair. It appears somewhat less frequently in Star Trek than the Burke 115. This model too was heavily modified, with a new backrest added.
Cado Cantilever 290	Earth Spacedock lounge	"Star Trek: The Search for Spock"	This chair was designed by Steen Ostergaard in 1966.
Cassina LC7	Rutia IV Moab IV Starfleet Academy cadet's quarters	TNG: "The Masterpiece Society" TNG: "The First Duty"	Designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1927.
Costes Chair	Ren's house on Banean homeworld DS9 crew quarters	VOY: "Ex Post Facto" DS9: "The Way of the Warrior I"	Designed by the very prolific Philippe Starck for Driade in 1984.
Dimple Closed Shell Chair	Discovery mess hall	DIS: "Context is for Kings"	Designed by Gino Lemson for Kubikoff as part of the Angel Contract line, this chair comes in many color variations. This model appears in the Discovery mess hall addition to the black/white Gakko Slide Chair. It bears a certain similarity to the K-7 bar chair of TOS.
Dining chair by Anna Castelli Ferrieri	Riker's quarters on the Enterprise-D Utopia Planitia simulation	TNG: "Time Squared" TNG: "Booby Trap"	Designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri for Kartell, ca. 1981.
Dining chair (I) by Constantini Pietro	Chancellor's office on Malcor III	TNG: "First Contact"	Constantini Pietro is an Italian furniture company and produced this chair some time in the 1980's. A variation without the armrest appears to be more widespread.
Dining chair (II) by Constantini Pietro	Quark's quarters	DS9: "Profit and Lace"	Constantini Pietro also produced this chair some time in the 1980's.
Dining chair by Robert Josten	Deep Space 9 guest quarters Farius Prime bar 602 Bar Klingon Bird-of-Prey	DS9: "Honor Among Thieves" ENT: "First Flight" ENT: "Cold Station 12"	Robert Josten designed these chairs with the split aluminium backrest some time in the 1970's.
Dr. Glob Chair	Carraya IV prison camp Enterprise-D science lab Ronara Prime colony	TNG: "Birthright II" TNG: "Preemptive Strike"	Designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell in 1988.
Ed Archer Chair	Admiral Janeway's apartment (alternate future) Commodore Forrest's office	VOY: "Endgame" ENT: "First Flight"	Designed by Philippe Starck for Driade in 1987.

Emeco Navy Chair	Cochrane's bar in Montana Nazi facility Parnassus Beta	"Star Trek: First Contact" ENT: "Stormfront I" SNW: "Hegemony"	This chair was originally built for US Navy warships during World War II. A similar chair with a more rounded backrest can be seen in "First Contact" as well, along with other types of aluminium chairs. Most of the chairs in "Hegemony" have additional armrests.
Empty Chair	Risa Holographic family home Kyana Prime Species 8472 simulation of Earth Varro ship	VOY: "Real Life" VOY: "Year of Hell II" VOY: "The Disease"	Designed by Ron Arad for Driade in 1994, together with the matching Fly Ply Table that doesn't appear in the episodes.
Faceted Form Chair	Deep Space K-7 ECS Horizon quarters Defiant quarters (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")	TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles" DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations" ENT: "Horizon"	Designed by Paul McCobb in 1959, and also known as "Origami Chair". According to David Gerrold's The Making of the Trouble with Tribbles, the chairs were then brand new, and there were only two per dealership in LA, so the show borrowed them all. For the fight scene, the director asked "What can I break?" and was told "NOT THE CHAIRS!" Supposedly, one chair sailed (gently) through the air, but otherwise they were off limits. The chairs on DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations" were actually casts of an original chair because they were too difficult to find in the needed numbers. The subsequent two appearances on ENT were probably these replica chairs. Note that both the original chair of TOS and the reconstruction has a frame with crossed legs, which seems to be an unusual feature. We only found the variant with inverted U-shapes on the left and right.
Fasem P40	Narek's quarters on the Artifact	PIC: "The Impossible Box"	Designed by Giancarlo Vegni & Gianfranco Gualtierotti for Fasem, ca. 1980.
Fasem T38	Café des Artistes (holoprogram)	TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris"	Designed by Studio Archirivolto for Fasem, ca. 1980.

Gakko Slide Chair	Discovery mess hall	DIS: "Choose Your Pain"	Only two tables are equipped with these "hero chairs". The other type of chairs in the mess hall is the Dimple Closed Shell Chair.
Hill House Chair	Tarquin's planet	ENT: "Exile"	Like the Argyle chair, this classic was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
IKEA Anima	Quark's Bar	DS9: "The Way of the Warrior" DS9: "Blaze of Glory"	Designed by Tord Björklund.
IKEA Pajala	Sisko's Creole Kitchen Ajilon Prime field hospital	DS9: "Homefront" DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong"	These patio chairs (and the matching tables) were sold by IKEA in the 1990's. They were not very popular but are available on auction platforms.
Hannah Stack Chair	Florida (Trip's nightmare)	ENT: "The Xindi"	This stack chair was apparently produced by a company named Izzy.
J&J Kohn Nr. 728	Riker's quarters on the Enterprise-D Hospital on Valakian homeworld	TNG: "Liaisons" ENT: "Dear Doctor"	This model, also known as Fledermaus Chair, was designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1907. The chairs show up at the poker table as late in as in season 7 and were probably painted for their appearance in the series.
Knoll Toledo	Cochrane's bar in Montana Voyager crew quarters Cosimo's in San Francisco (alternate reality) Alien repair station	"Star Trek: First Contact" VOY: "Before and After" VOY: "Non Sequitur" ENT: "Dead Stop"	Designed in 1986 by Jorge Pensi and produced by Amat3 for Knoll.

Lusaka dining chair	Artifact recreation room	PIC: "The End is the Beginning"	Available at Unico Milano (and quite expensive despite the extremely simple design).
Metrik Cantilever Chair	Discovery ready room	DIS: "If Memory Serves"	The Metrik series is manufactured by Wilkhahn.
MR Cantilever Chair	Starling's office	VOY: "Future's End II"	Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed this chair for the Weißenhofsiedlung project in 1927.

Olly Tango Chair	Species 8472 simulation of Earth	VOY: "In the Flesh"	Designed by the very prolific Philippe Starck for Driade in 1994. This chair was also produced with armrests. It is possible that at least one of the chairs in "In the Flesh" has armrests.
Organic Chair	Starfleet office Xindi Council	DS9: "Paradise Lost" ENT: "Proving Ground"	Designed by Luca and Paolo Giacomuzzi in the 1980's.

It is made of aluminium with a riveted seat and doesn't actually look very romantic.
S44 Chair	Deep Space 9 courtroom	DS9: "Rules of Engagement"	Designed by Giancarlo Vegni & Gianfranco Gualtierotti for Fasem.
Series 7 Armchair	FCA office on Ferenginar	DS9: "Family Business"	Designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen in 1955.

Sylvie Chair	Enterprise-D crew quarters	TNG: "Eye of the Beholder"	This eccentric design was produced by R & Y Augousti. They very likely also provided the matching decoration visible in the same room.
T-Chair	Cochrane's house	TOS: "Metamorphosis"	Designed by William Katavolos, Douglas Kelley and Ross Littel for Laverne in 1952. Note the similarity to the Model 248 used in the same episode.

Jamaica Stool (low)	Arik Soong's cell	ENT: "The Augments"	This is a lower version of the Jamaica Stool (which was apparently available with and without casters).

Lucite Stool	Darwin Genetic Research Station	TNG: "Unnatural Selection" TNG: "Unnatural Selection"	Designed in the 1970's and produced by Hill Manufacturing. There are two variations, a higher one with a footrest and a lower one without, both of which are visible in TNG: "Unnatural Selection".

Sequoia Stool	Emerald Chain lab	DIS: "The Galactic Barrier"	Designed by Torbjørn Anderssen & Espen Voll for Magis S.p.A in 2017.
Stokke Barstool	Tarellian ship Alexander's room	TNG: "Haven" TNG: "A Fistful of Datas"	Like the more famous Globe Garden further above, this chair too was designed by Peter Opsvik and produced by Stokke around 1985. Curiously, we can find both variations both on the Tarellian ship and in Worf's quarters.
Thinline stool	Sigma Draconis VI	TOS: "Spock's Brain"	Produced by Thinline in the style of Eero Saarinen's tulip stool. Unlike a similar Maurice Burke design for Arkana, the edge of the wider round base of the Thinline stool has an additional fold.
Tubular Stool	Custodian room on Aldea	TNG: "When the Bough Breaks"	This stool was produced by Amisco in the 1980's.

Office Chairs

Chair name	Seen in	Screen caps	Comments
Arper Aston	Starbase 1 conference room USS Stargazer conference lounge	SNW: "Spock Amok" PIC: "The Star Gazer"	Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud in 2006. The chair is highly configurable but doesn't feature a hole in the backrest (and definitely no Starfleet branding) like in Picard. We previously thought the Starbase 1 chair was Ray Soft, designed by Jehs + Laub for Brunner, which is almost identical in size and shape, except that there is no gap between the armrest and the seat like it is visible in the episode. Also, the swivel base is perfect match with Aston, rather than with Ray Soft.
Canasta Swivel Chair	Brynner Information Systems	DS9: "Past Tense I"	Designed by Paolo Parigi for Heron Parigi in 1989.
Charlie Swivel Chair	Barclay's classroom	VOY: "Endgame"	Designed by Carlo Bimbi & Nilo Gioacchini for Segis.
Cobra Chair	Enterprise-D offices Enterprise-D quarters Voyager sickbay office	TNG: "New Ground" VOY: "Latent Image"	Designed by Paul Boulva for Artopex in 1975.
Ergoform Workseat	Enterprise-D science lab Jovis shuttlebay Enterprise-A bridge Enterprise-B bridge Enterprise-D medical lab Baran's bridge USS Pasteur bridge USS Prometheus bridge USS Prometheus dining room USS Raven bridge "USS Dauntless" bridge Varro ship ECS Horizon bridge Kumari ready room	TNG: "The Most Toys" "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" "Star Trek Generations" TNG: "All Good Things" VOY: "The Disease"	A US patent from Ergoform for a similar chair design points to them being the manufacturers. A document kept in the Thunder Bay Museum explicitly mentions a "Star Trek Chair (1989-1992)" by Ergoform Inc. This could mean the chair was designed specifically for Star Trek, or it is just an informal reference. The Thunder Bay Museum has one of the chairs in storage. There is also a brochure for the Ergoform Workchair, indicating that it may have been sold at some time. The chair was decorated with a Starfleet emblem for "Star Trek Generations". It then appeared in many later Trek productions and became the probably most reused piece of furniture.
Fina Soft	Admiral Pike's office Starfleet meeting room	"Star Trek Into Darkness" "Star Trek Into Darkness"	Designed by Wolfgang C. R. Mezger for Brunner. This chair is highly configurable. The conference room chairs have different armrests than the one in Pike's office, both of which are stock versions.
Goodform Model 2123	McKinley Rocket Base	TOS: "Assignment: Earth"	Designed for General Fireproofing Company in 1932.
Graph Conference Chair	SNW-Enterprise conference room SNW-Enterprise sickbay office SNW-Enterprise interrogation room Spock's quarters on SNW-Enterprise	SNW: "Strange New Worlds" SNW: "The Elysian Kingdom"	A conference chair manufactured by Wilkhahn. We can see two variations with low and with high backrest.
HÅG Anova 2030	Enterprise-D observation lounge Enterprise-D crew quarters Gatherer ship Starfleet Command ("Star Trek IV") Shuttlecraft ("Star Trek V") Jenolan bridge Pasteur ready room Prometheus captain's chair Challenger ready room Admiral Janeway's office (alternate future)	TNG: "The Neutral Zone" TNG: "Chain of Command II" VOY: "Message in a Bottle"	This chair was designed by Peter Opsvik in 1978. It appeared with different backrests in Trek, some of which might actually be different models of the same collection. The chair can be seen in "Conspiracy" in Starfleet Headquarters, here with what looks like a custom-made headrest, probably to set it apart from the chairs on the Enterprise. In TNG: "The Vengeance Factor" and "Relics", the chair is missing the extra headrest but has a padded leather or patent leather cover, just like it was available in the stores.
HÅG Balans Activ	Regula I station	"Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"	This kneeling chair was designed by Prof. Svein Gusrud in 1979. The chairs were originally produced with two different heights, both of which appear in the movie.
HÅG Capisco with saddle seat (1980)	Excelsior bridge Enterprise-D science lab Voyager bridge "USS Dauntless" bridge Enterprise-E engineering Jupiter Station	"Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" TNG: "Suspicions" VOY: "Worst Case Scenario" VOY: "Life Line"	The chairs that appeared in the classic Trek episodes and movies are from an old, no longer sold variant, in which the back rest is much smaller than on the current version of the HÅG Capisco. Curiously, when his cover is blown and Arturis pulls the lever to convert the bridge of the "USS Dauntless" to the alien version in VOY: "Hope and Fear", the former Ergoform bridge chair (see above) morphs to a HÅG Capisco chair.
HÅG Capisco with saddle seat (modern)	USS Hiawatha	DIS: "Brother"	The more recent version of HÅG Capisco can be seen in DIS: "Brother".
HÅG H3 340	NX-01 ready room NX-01 sickbay	ENT: "These Are The Voyages" ENT: "These Are The Voyages" ENT: "Dear Doctor"	This chair can be seen with and without armrests.
HÅG Signét 7700	Runabout aft section Ronara Prime Voyager conference room Zobral's planet	TNG: "Timescape" VOY: "One Small Step" ENT: "Desert Crossing"	Design date unknown, no longer in production.
HÅG Signét 8400	Enterprise-E conference room Voyager ready room Vulcan High Command	"Star Trek: First Contact" VOY: "Parallax"	Design date unknown, no longer in production.
Interstuhl Silver 151S	Kelvin bridge	"Star Trek (2009)"	Interstuhl 151S normally has four legs, but appears with a flat base here, perhaps taken from model 810S.
Interstuhl Silver 810S	Kelvin bridge	"Star Trek (2009)"	A nearly identical chair, with four legs instead of the flat base, is sold as model 101S.
Kicca swivel chair	Jack Crusher's quarters on the Titan-A	PIC: "Vox"	Designed in 2017 and produced by Kastel.
Merrifair Wau	La Sirena captain's quarters	PIC: "Broken Pieces"	According to the manufacturer, "Wau was named after the large traditional Malaysia kite because the curves and shape of the back structure resembles that of the kite's."
Monarch Specialties I 7271	Enterprise-F bridge	PIC: "Vox"	Admiral Shelby's chair was modified with control surfaces on both armrests.
Office Chair by Jørgen Rasmussen	Eminiar VII	TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon"	Jørgen Rasmussen is known for his simplistic Kevi Chair. He designed this more elaborate office chair, also with the brand name Kevi, some time in the early 1960's.
Omnific Chair	Enterprise-D chief engineer's office Enterprise-D lab Enterprise-D quarters Enterprise-D courtroom USS Sutherland bridge	TNG: "Contagion" TNG: "The Emissary" TNG: "The Drumhead" TNG: "Redemption II"	Designed by Marta Tornero and Bruce Adams, the Omnific office chair was originally manufactured by Panel Concepts and then supported by Sitmatic for several years before being retired.
Saddle Chair Anatomical Small	La Sirena sickbay	PIC: "Stardust City Rag"	Manufactured by the company Gharieni.
Soft Pad EA 219	Starfleet conference room	ENT: "Demons"	The chair was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1969. Curiously, some of the chairs in ENT: "Demons" have only four legs. The commercially available chair, if it has casters, usually comes with five legs.
Teknion RBT	Discovery bridge	DIS: "Brother"	The frame with casters was replaced with a stationary base for its appearance on the Discovery set.
Teknion Sabrina	Cabot conference room	SHO: "The Trouble with Edward"	Sold by Teknion, Sabrina was co-developed by Giugiaro Design and the Okamura Corporation.
Zuo Unico	Starbase Discovery conference room Discovery crew quarters	DIS: "Choose Your Pain" DIS: "The War Without, the War Within" DIS: "The Red Angel"	It looks like in season 1 extra cushions were added to make the chair look less like the off-the-shelf product. The fabric seems to differ a bit, and they are not quite as straight as we may expect from a commercial product.

Vehicle Seats

Chair name	Seen in	Screen caps	Comments
FloFit seat	Defiant bridge Rotarran bridge stations	DS9: "Defiant" DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire"	We first thought the Recaro LS or the similar Recaro L was used for the Defiant captain's chair and the other bridge chairs. But it seems we actually see a FloFit seat, which used to be a Recaro knock-off in the 90's and looks much the same. The padding and the headrest are a perfect match.
Garelick 099	Defiant bridge	DS9: "The Dogs of War"	This is a boat seat. The full description is "Garelick 099 side gunwale removable utility/fighting seat without gimbal".
Hunsaker Big Boy	K't'inga-class bridge Earth transporter station Enterprise-D crew quarters	"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" TNG: "Haven"	These racing seats were painted two tone for their first appearance on the Klingon ship, and later modified with added padding for "The Search for Spock", which is how they appeared a couple of times on TNG too.
MH OCH 300	Starbase Yorktown communication center	"Star Trek Beyond"	The MH OCH 300 is a chair for drilling operators by the Norwegian company Alu Design.
Procar Rally	Type-15 shuttle	TNG: "The Ensigns of Command"	This classic car seat is still being sold.
Recaro C	Klingon BoP "Bounty" bridge Klingon BoP Pagh bridge Romulan D'deridex class bridge Promellian battlecruiser bridge	"Star Trek IV" TNG: "A Matter of Honor" TNG: "Contagion" TNG: "Booby Trap"	This older model is referred to as "Ideal C" or "Classic C" by car enthusiasts. The chair could be seen in the movie and on TNG with always the same angular add-ons, with or without headrests.
Recaro CSE	Runabout cockpit	DS9: "Whispers"	For the Star Trek set, the chairs were modified with various add-ons, especially to the back.
Recaro LX	Enterprise-E captain's chair (unseen) Enterprise NX-01 captain's chair	"Star Trek Nemesis", deleted scene ENT: "Borderland"	The Recaro LX (aka Recaro Specialist M) was supplemented with a black padded frame that also holds the slits for the seatbelts. The seatbelt demonstration and everything related to the chair was famously cut from "Star Trek Nemesis". The chair finally appeared in the fourth season of Enterprise.
Todd 5 Star Series helm seat	NX-01 captain's chair	ENT: "Cold Front"	A boat seat that was modified for its appearance on the show.
Wise Padded Plastic Fold Down Seat	Enterprise-B bridge	"Star Trek Generations"	This is a fishing chair, with the current product number 8WD139LS, available in various color combinations. The seats were slightly modified for their appearance, with a Starfleet insignia added to the back.
Wise Pro Casting Seat	Enterprise-E engineering	"Star Trek: Insurrection"	This is a casting seat to be mounted on a pedestal (on a boat), with the current product number 8WD112BP.
Wise Swept Back Style Bucket Seat	Enterprise-E bridge console	"Star Trek Nemesis"	The exact model of this boat seat does not seem to be in production any longer.
