Rocking Knit

Ryan Ferguson

Designers Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex have ingeniously combined two traditional porch pastimes into the Rocking Knit, a wooden rocking chair that knits a cap as it moves. This eco-friendly invention, part of the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne's Low-Tech Factory workshop, emphasizes simplicity and efficiency by generating a tangible product through minimal energy use. Showcased at Designer’s Saturday in Langenthal, Switzerland, the Rocking Knit offers a unique blend of leisure and productivity, embodying the workshop's goal of merging experience with the creation of a material item.
