Kelvin Timeline all but confirmed

That was a real chair, although I can't find a good photo of the fiberglass shell version of it right now.

Wow. What was this chair called? When I Google "tulip chair" I get something much tamer.

 

[Mudd]

Well, I think it's one variation of something they called a "mod pod." I know that they made one with a fiberglass shell because I recognized it when Starlog first ran that Mike Minor image back into 1978/79.

Number Two's chair from The Prisoner? That's what jumped in my mind when I saw the artwork, actually.

 

[Mudd]

That was a close cousin, yeah.

My guess is that there was one of these in Minor's immediate environment, possibly in the production offices. A similar one shows up in Persis Khambatta's screen test:

That furniture just screams 70s. I guess it looked futuristic at the time.

Such an irresistibly beautiful woman!

Those white plastic chairs look like they were bought from an auction of Space: 1999 memorabelia.

Probably would still look futuristic if it wasn't in a grainy photo.

 

[Jedi_Master]

Those big curving sweeps are just showing off what amazing things that can be done with plastic.
Now that furniture is moving away from plastic and back towards "rustic" functionality, it makes those "space-age" pieces look very dated.

I don't think the quality of the photo is the issue. The chairs look like they are right off of my parents deck when I was little.

Throw 'em in something like this and they would look futuristic.

Oh, is this one of Discovery's toilets?

 

[MadeIndescribable]

It's showing what they thought of Stargate Universe...

Looks more like "Tron" to me.

I don't think it would help.

 

[Prax]

It's Kevin Flynn's jacuzzi.

 

[uniderth]

It's Kevin Flynn's jacuzzi.

I prefer it as discovery's toilets. Though, I don't see any seashells.

 

[137th Gebirg]

That's a big question...will DSC show full bathrooms?

And a bowling alley?

 

[Nerys Myk]

A woman's compact?

Bowling alley is more important.

There are no toilets in Star Trek. Every Banó is equipped with a microtransporter. It activates while you take a sonic shower, and removes your troubles for you. That's why everyone always has a pep in their step and never gets too grumpy.
