This new concept of Novague, the Prague-based design studio, is a power independent rocking chair which can produce power from the chair’s rocking motion to light the LED reading lamp.

The LED lamp is run by dynamo which changes the mechanic energy obtained by rocking to electric energy. A simple kinematic arrangement is placed beneath the seat. Mechanism is similar to those used in steam engines and it works together with a sliding lever that runs a flywhell disc while you rock. Produced energy is either deposited in batteries or it supplies the LED lamp.

This concept is with the aim to arouse a discussion on the energetic self-sufficiency in the future. It can also make public think about how much energy we could save if we produce energy needed for common day-to-day activities on our own and moreover by amazing and spontaneous environment-friendly technology.
