Coolhunts: Murakami Chair
October 20th, 2009
The Murakami Chair, a unique piece that features a rocking chair with an attached lamp. I think this is super cool and the fact it sports an integrated kinetic charging facility, powering up the light source using energy created from rocking back and forth makes it even better.

According to the designer, it uses nano-dynamo technology that’s built into the skids of the chair to facilitate the conversion of motion into energy. It also integrates a battery module where both the light and the charging mechanism are connected to.
The Murakami Chair is not available for retail yet (probably never will). But you can check out the designer’s explanation of his work.
