American production designer who designed the second and third seasons of Star Trek: Picard, including the meticulous reconstruction of the Enterprise-D bridge for the final episodes.
Dave Blass is an American production designer from Ashland, Massachusetts. Before Star Trek he designed series including Justified, Constantine, Preacher and The Boys, earning Emmy and Art Directors Guild nominations.
He took over the design of Star Trek: Picard for its second and third seasons. His sets included the bridge of the new USS Stargazer, which was reworked as the USS Titan-A, the starbase and museum interiors, and a large number of on-screen displays filled with references to earlier series.
His best-known achievement was rebuilding the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D for the closing episodes of the third season in 2023, recreated in close detail from the original Next Generation set so that the reunited crew could take their old stations.
