I’ve added pages for three newly identified objects:
Achille Castiglioni’s Sancarlo armchair (used in The Next Generation)
Arturo Silva’s Galileo lamp (used in The Next Generation)
Arthur Jacob’s Model 1525 Torchier (used in Deep Space Nine)
I’ve also added a Press page under the About dropdown. It’s been a almost four years now since I started Star Trek + Design and it’s been featured in quite a few publications, so I wanted an organized way to keep track. I’m pretty disappointed that Cocaine Decor doesn’t exist, both for his really thoughtful explorations of culture and queerness in 1970’s and 80’s interior design, but also because I think that was the best interview I’ve ever done. Luckily I still have the Google Doc that Rocky and I worked on together for the interview, which you can read here if you’re interested.

I’m honored and excited to announce that Star Trek + Design was awarded Ex Astris Scientia’s Ex Astris Excellentia award! From Bernd at EAS:
"It's been a long time since I last gave out an old-fashioned award. But I think I should revive the tradition to praise the incessant efforts of Eno Farley to identify furniture and other real-life objects in Star Trek and to present them. Besides contributing greatly to the lists of Commercially Available Chairs and Commercially Available Lighting at EAS and posting at Instagram, Eno also maintains a website named Star Trek + Design. The site design is unassuming in a "form follows function" fashion. Rather than being organized the "lazy" way as a blog with random entries that you'd have to scroll through, Star Trek + Design has a well-ordered menu that allows to browse identified object by type (Glassware, Tableware, Seating, Tables, Lighting, Miscellaneous). Each object is presented on an individual page, with photos, screen caps and additional information on the designers. Overall, Star Trek + Design is much like a one-stop site to look for real-life design objects that appeared in Star Trek. Be sure to check out Eno's own collection of Trek-related items too!"
I’ve also added a new page for Manfredo Massironi’s Tyco Wall Unit (used in TNG, Nemesis, and Enterprise).
