Check out the Murakami Rocking Chair—your rocking powers its own built-in reading lamp.
Designer Rochus Jacob has packed the latest nano-dynamo technology (sounds cool just saying it, doesn’t it?) into the skids to harvest the kinetic energy of rocking, and added a battery pack to store the energy for when you need it. Oh, and it gets better: the lampshade itself is the light—the whole thing is made of bendable organic light-emitting diodes (aka: OLED).
Add in the fact the design itself is gorgeous, and we’re already adding this to our holiday wish list (hint hint to our special someones).
(We’ll add a link and retail price info when it’s available—this chair just took home a first prize at the DesignBoom Green Life Competition… so we expect more info to come out soon).
