ECAL: Rocking Chair That Knits You a Hat While You’re Rocking

Rocking Chair That Knits You a Hat While You're Rocking

Rocking Knit

by ECAL students Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex is a chair that fashions its user a beanie as they leisurely rock back and forth, activating gears that put the machine to work as its sitter relaxes.

The design was shown in the Ruckstuhl building as part of ECAL‘s Low-Tech Factory exposition during Designers’ Saturday in Langenthal, Switzerland, and was created in response to the exhibition’s theme, where students were required to reinterpret the idea of manufacture.
