Born from the desire to generate energy from everyday activities, is the Murakami Chair. So many of our everyday activities have the capability of creating enough electricity to generate a small appliance, all we need to do is tap into the technology that allows this to happen. And that is exactly what the designer Rochus Jacob did.
