Furniture design has come a long way since the futon, the collegiate answer to both space and function, which today has been thankfully overhauled into pieces that are not only multifunctional, but beautiful as well. Mostly modern in approach, the following designs are the tip of the creative ice burg, soon to be seen, in my opinion, in many homes, large and small.
The Wave Chaise

This space-saver is just what any techie-teen dreams of: a chaise equipped with a TV, DVD, and sound system flanked by a desk and chair. There’s even storeage space for cds, dvds, video games, and books.
