Self sufficient rocking chair.
We would have posted on this just for the design. Imagine sitting reading in a rocking chair and having the reading light follow your books pages instead of passing them as you rock. Genius. However smart this is, this chair is even smarter than that in that it actually generates it's own power as you rock back and forth. And the lampshade is not a lampshade. It's an OLED light source, shaped like a lampshade. The OLED lamp senses when it's light or dark out and stores the energy produced until needed. The chair, designed by Rochus Jacob, shared first prize at the DesignBoom Green Life Competition, which you can read more about here. [Via]
