I have decided to build my own Captain’s chair and would love to share my process with the community and hopefully get some trek-minded people with ideas to make it the best it can be!

I ordered a pricey salon chair because it has the look I am going for… the plan is to remove the foot rest portion, and spray the metal side panels to match the silver on the arm rests.

I currently work for a sign shop so Im going to take advantage of that by cutting out portions of the metal side panels and inlaying transparent LCARs displays on acrylic panels and backlighting them with LEDs.

Anyone else with ideas on how to trek this thing out would be most appreciated! It arrives in 2 weeks so Im hoping to have it all planned out so I can get to work when it arrives :)

    No idea how you are with electronics, but it would be sweet to have a tablet with an LCARS layout built into a display for controlling your music and tv main viewscreen, as well as any smart home devices you might have.

      Yeah thats a great idea. I think the arm rests are too narrow for a full tablet but Ill see if my old android phone will fit- would be super cool to have interactive controls that actually do things
