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 is the actual OLED light source, shaped like a lampshade.
The OLED lamp also 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.
