Best chair in all of Star Trek

I know, but it's a magnificent chair and everyone should know about it. It also made an appearance on friends.

iconic chair with the goal "to demolish the stereotypical ideal of the proper sitting posture".

More like demolishing people's backs.

"But there is no HONOR in sitting in this chair"

Immediately thought of this chair upon viewing the meme, thank you for posting.

I'm surprised they never encountered a race that had legs that bent the other way and just have an awkward moment where the human crew can't figure out how to sit in the chairs of the alien conference room.

Meanwhile Riker would just waltz in and sit like a god king, ready to discuss them joining the federation.

Out-of-universe, it probably wouldn't work well for center of mass with respect to the direction of vision.

In-universe...

Cool chairs are much more interesting than UAPs. I can sit in a chair and be comfortable reading about them, but can I sit on a UAP and study them? I say nay, nay!

Hey, you don't know that there aren't UFOs out there with amazing chairs in them! That's why we have to identify them: to find out where the best chairs are flying in from!

What about the joystick, I mean manual steering column. Pretty sure the one on the Enterprise-E was some dressed up off the shelf model. It looks a bit like something between a logitech wingman extreme and quickshot.

Critical Role would like a word.
