#pike had the wooden table from his childhood replicated for the ready room

[ansonmountdaily]

Captain Pike's ready room aboard USS Discovery in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 is "indigenous and cowboy themed", decorated with Navajo artwork, pottery, glass, rug, Frederic Remington horse sculptures, sofa and lobster chairs/recliners, wooden conference table from Pike’s childhood that had been hit by lightning, and a screen of the starry sky above Mojave desert.

Tamara Deverell, production designer: "When we decided we were going to do the ready room for Captain Pike I, of course, watched "The Cage" and went back to TOS and looked a lot at the character. We talked a lot to the writers as well about what his backstory is, what his history was, where he is from in Mojave, what he collected and what he brought with him. He brought stuff. We had stuff from New Mexico, from Mojave, from Arizona and we brought all of that in.

He had a table that he brought in that was his table from childhood that had been hit by lightning. So, there was a whole backstory and richness and the other aspect was that he was a warm character who wanted to welcome people. He didn't want a cold space. He wanted people to come in, so we had a sitting area. We made a bigger space and place where you could have a meeting.

So, it wasn't just his ready room. It is a place that you can imagine him falling asleep. Having some Cheese-Its and falling asleep watching his iPad. We really wanted that comfortable vibe. He was a cowboy, so we put in Remington sculpture, Navajo artwork and pottery. We brought in all these things that were Pike, his welcoming warm, cozy world." - Trekmovie.com interview, Feb 11 2019
