Is this necessarily limited to furniture?  I can think of a couple non-furniture examples:

[[AC:Film]]
* In ''StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'', an Enterprise crewmember is suspected of murdering Klingon Chancellor Gorkon because of gravity boots found in his locker... and then immediately cleared, because the boots are designed for human feet and his feet are short, webbed, and nearly circular in shape.
* In both ''AttackOfTheClones'' and ''RevengeOfTheSith'', Yoda is depicted as having a visibly smaller lightsaber handle than Jedi who are of more human proportions.

[[AC:Literature]]
* In ''Rogue Squadron'', the first book of the XWingSeries, Wedge becomes apprehensive when he learns that his Verpine crew chief has "tinkered" with his brand new starfighter, as he remembers horror stories from other human pilots of ships optimized for ''Verpine'' ergonomics.  His X-Wing turns out to be fine, however.
** The novel series as a whole tends to HandWave how Twi'lek and other nonhuman pilots can fit their appendages inside flight helmets.  It's averted in the comics, however, where nonhumans are depicted as having helmets with the proper ergonomics for their species.

I seem to remember other examples - humans not being able to use nonhuman weapons or vice versa, in particular - but I can't remember any specifics right now.
