When it came to filming, the Star Trek: The Next Generation art department wanted the cup to look both futuristic and timeless. It had to be at home in the 24th Century, but it also had to be instantly recognizable. Rather than creating their own tea cup from scratch, they looked for the best examples of modern, 20th Century design. They settled on a glass tea cup made by European homewares company, Bodum, a company with a reputation for modern, minimalist design. The cup that the Star Trek art department landed on was part of the BISTRO system, which was designed by Carsten Jørgensen in 1974, and is regarded as a design classic. It features a simple plastic band circling the body of the glass, accented with a black plastic handle. The cup itself is crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that won't alter or impair the flavor of the tea. The instantly recognizable BISTRO cup became so closely associated with Star Trek, that fans informally refer to it as "The Picard Cup." It went on to appear in Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Picard.
