SynopsisCelebrate Star Trek: The Original Series and the show's distinctive Midcentury modern design that would change design- and television-forever. Star Trek: The Original Series (1966-1969) was the first installment of one of the most successful and longest-running television franchises of all time. Today, Trek fans champion its writing, progressive social consciousness, and aesthetic. Designing the Final Frontier is a unique, expert look at the mid-century modern design that created and inspired that aesthetic. From Burke chairs to amorphous sculptures, from bright colors to futuristic frames, Star Trek TOS is bursting with mid-century modern furniture, art, and design elements--many of them bought directly from famous design showrooms. Together, midcentury modern design experts Dan Chavkin and Brian McGuire have created an insider's guide to the interior of original starship Enterprise and beyond, that is sure to attract Star Trek's thriving global fan base.

  • Marvelous book for Mid-century Modern fans and Trekkers/Trekkies alike!

    A great break down of items featured in all three seasons of the original Star Trek television series. From the saurian brandy bottle 2 brutalist pieces, go where no one has gone before.
