In the late 1960s the Tulip chair was used on the TV show Star Trek where they appeared on the bridge set of the U.S.S. Enterprise and throughout the rest of the ship. The bridge chairs were slightly modified Tulip chairs that featured plastic appliqués attached to their back panels.

An original bridge Tulip chair was offered during the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction #17, selling for $18,000.
