Discovery's Captain's chair

[Nerys Myk]

It strikes me as similar to Kelvin-verse chair in general design.

Check out the new uniforms

Apparently it is easy to replicate polyester in the 24thish century, and EMh Mark I's now have to iron uniform pants in between mining for dilithium.

Are there any seatbelts?

Looks like it could be anything from ENT to TNG but obviously not TOS. I think it is odd that people are jumping to conclusions based on the apparent wood base of the chair.

Nowhere in that Tweet does that say that that's the chair.

After reading criticism on the intarwebs, that's the new design they've given the ship. And frankly, I like it better.

The chair is not dissimilar to the one we've seen for the last seven years in three movies.

Maybe the captain is an alien with a thin torso and arms as thick as tree trunks.

Popeye?

No, but the article that referenced the tweet said it was. I should have put a link to it but now I forgot where I read it. Even so, what else could Fuller be referencing?

EDIT: Not sure if this is the link but it's one of a few:

Kind looks like the Franklin's command chair.

it would be hilarious if Discovery was set in the era the Franklin is from. Guess we've seen the uniforms.

Thinking that it'll be set before the Narada comes through, that way, it is still in the Prime Universe. For now.

Or the captain is human and just very fat...

Kind looks like the Franklin's command chair.

It is closer than the Kelvin type with its straight edges and wide seat.

I like the chair design, but what really works for me is the colour! I hope they actually keep it that way, rather than going for the usual gunmetal grey (or rust if they're Klingons).

This image for the STD Infographic has a concept for the chair. I like the colour and the buttons, but what about some padding?



P.S. Is there any change of getting these STD threads transferred over to the STD forum?

I'm hoping the chair is a sign of an exciting new direction for Star Trek. The USS Discovery and all her controls will be made of wood. I await our first look at her wooden warp core.

I don't much care about the look of the chair but I hope this is the way the people in the new show will sit on that chair.

Needs moar upholstery.

Is that some kind of leather?

Sounds Swedish.
