Tongue Chair by Jaymar Furniture
Designed c. 1980’s
No longer in production
Jaymar is a Quebec-based Canadian furniture company established in 1956. Their Tongue Chair, produced circa the 1980’s, emulates the soft, sculptural styles of Pierre Paulin, Louis Durot, and Verner Panton. Two Tongue armchairs were used in the Picard episode, “Disengage,” in Sneed’s office on M’Talas Prime.
Star Trek + Design previously misattributed these sleek chairs to Marcello Ziliani's Smile armchair, a virtually identical design from in 2007. However, a closer examination of the chairs in the episode reveals their true lineage. The thin, flat armrests of the Tongue Chairs differentiate the design from the thick, rounded arms of Ziliani's Smile chair, a subtle yet telling detail that mark the armchairs in Picard as Jaymars.
Used in:
