In a perfect world that exists solely in our minds, kids’ rooms are entirely adorned with handmade furniture made out of a natural material in calming hues. But in the case of the Verner Panton Junior chair, we‘re forced to make an exception. This single-molded chair, originally designed (for adults) in 1967, is a cool parents’ dream chair for their budding design enthusiasts. Yes, it’s a primary color and made from plastic, but it’s ideal for the destroy-everything-in-his-path kid. Durable, lightweight and easy to clean, you couldn’t ask for a better functional and aesthetically pleasing chair. It’s just another reason that plastic can be fantastic.
