Carsten Jørgensen is a Danish industrial designer, best known in the design community as the former director of Bodum for over 25 years. His Bistro teacup is so ubiquitous to The Next Generation, it is sometimes referred to as “The Picard Cup,” from which Captain Picard drinks his “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.” It was also used, less prominently, in several episodes of Voyager. Most recently, it appeared in the first episode of Picard, in Admiral Picard’s dream of sitting with Data in Ten Forward.
