Rocking Chair Powers Its Attached OLED Lamp Just By Rocking

The Murakami chair’s attached lamp is powered by kinetic energy produced from the chair’s rocking back and forth — deliciously simple and elegant. Oh, and that lampshade? Not a lampshade. That’s the actual OLED light source, shaped like a lampshade.

The OLED lamp even senses when it’s light or dark out, and if it’s light, stores the energy produced by rocking in a battery pack until nightfall. The chair, designed by Rochus Jacob, rightfully shared first prize at the DesignBoom Green Life Competition, which you can read more about here. [Unpluggd]
