The Murakami chair collects energy from all the rocking throughout the day and stores it in an attached battery pack. Then, it uses that stored energy to power the lamp at night. Self-sufficient and perfect for Grandma, this newfangled front porch contraption is as refreshing as a sweet tea on a summer night in Savannah. Damn, that was country. Anyway, check out more of the Rochus Jacob-designed Murakami chair at the attached link.  The serene back-and-forth movement of a rocking chair is nothing if not relaxing. It can also be useful and productive, according to Rochus Jacob. The designer’s Murakami Chair, a winner in designboom’s Green Life competition, uses the kinetic energy produced by rocking to power an attached OLED lamp.
