I’ve updated my Collection page to add an exciting new find: Carsten Jorgensen’s Dip Bowl for Bodum!
I’ve also updated the Cappuccino Cups by BMF page, after a follower of the @startrekdesign Instagram informed me that these are also commonly sold online as Morinox or Morinox Italy.

I’m slowly getting through adding several of the newly identified objects from Strange New Worlds that the Ex Astris Scientia furniture team and I have been collecting screencaps for. Now may also be a good place to mention that, since I don’t have time to update Star Trek + Design as often as I’d like, I often send pieces I’ve identified to them before making pages for them here. Feel free to check out the EAS Chairs and Lighting pages to stay abreast of new updates!
This time, however, I actually did update several pages, and I want to start with my favorite:
Roberto Lazzeroni’s Star Trek Chair for Ceccotti (used in Voyager)
Yes, it’s called the Star Trek Chair. And I love it because it was not designed for Star Trek, but as a reference to Trek’s use of both Scandinavian and Italian modernism in TOS and TNG (the chair was designed in 1994). It was later used as set dressing for Tom and B’Elanna’s quarters on Voyager. It’s a reference within a reference; a design joke about Star Trek turned into a Star Trek joke about design.
I’ve also corrected a mistake I made on an existing page. On the page for Carlo Giannini’s espresso cups, I included images of cups that were similar, but not Giannini’s. As such, I’ve updated it so that only Giannini espresso cups are pictured, and also added a new page for the similar cups. Thanks to Chloe Vaughn (a fellow Trek glass-and-tableware collector, no less) for the correction!
Carlo Giannini’s Espresso Cups (used in Voyager and Enterprise)
BMF’s Cappuccino Cups (used in The Next Generation, Voyager, and Enterprise)
I’ve added new pages for identified objects from Strange New Worlds:
I’ve also added new screencaps to two existing pages:
Highwave’s HotJo Travel Mug (to reflect its use in Voyager)
Hans Wegner’s Ox Chair (because I noticed it in another episode of Voyager)
Finally, if you want to learn about the design used in Strange New Worlds, but don’t want to wait for me to get around to posting, there’s a great new article published by Film and Furniture I’d recommend checking out.
