The Kapsule Kid Chair by Karim Rashid doubles as a storage solution with a convenient window accessible through the back, and looks like it's straight out of a comic book from the future. It's safe for rough-housers and the not-so-graceful thanks to its round edges, and won an IDEA (industrial design excellence award) in 2002. But what I like best about it is its candy colors: electric blue, luminous orange, neon green and deep purple.

Available at PlushPod for $55.
