Rocking Chair-Powered Knitting Machine

Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex are students at the University of Art and Design Lausanne and they’ve created an amazing multi-functional device called “Rocking Knit,” which is a rocking chair that knits hats as you rock in it, for a recent exhibition called, “Low-Tech Factory.”
