Just to be different: Gary Seven's servo.
I'd say a set of Spock ears from TOS (since Kirk's chair is already taken).

Since we're claiming imaginary wish-fulfillment sets, props, and costumes, I think you can have the chair, too, if you want it. As long as we're imagining stuff we can't really have, might as well dream big!![]()
I would treasure the Captain's chair, the center seat where animus and anima, will and heart are properly in balance; the nexus of the vessel that took me on so many wonderful adventures as a child, with flawed but admirable people who go about trying to do good while being loyal to each other.
What a great show!
"Have you ever seen any of the TNG props (like the transporter console or hand ohasers) or the sets (like a section of corridor or the warp core) up close? Cheap plastic you could probably break with your hands. And the props look like toys from Toys'R'Us"
The TNG bridge was so biege! (literally and metaphorically) so drab, it seriously reminded me of some kind of lounge at a Holiday Inn, and all that empty negative space around the helm consoles reminded of a kid's play area.
Captain's chair looked comfy.

^^ The set was supposed to look more exotic and less conventionally operational so in that sense it succeeded. But is was so very beige and it looked to have a lot of wasted space. Overall I don't find it to be dynamic in any way and rather boring to look at.
True. I much prefer the lighting in the first two seasons."Have you ever seen any of the TNG props (like the transporter console or hand ohasers) or the sets (like a section of corridor or the warp core) up close?

Thing is, the bridge looked so much better in seasons one and two when they had someone who knew about dramatic lighting. Season three and on, it really came across as the waiting room at the hospital. The lighting in the latter seasons did the set no favors.
