iRock: The $1,300 Power-Generating iPad Rocking Chair

Comfortable, eco-friendly, and expensive.

Audacious, eco-friendly, expensive, and probably really comfortable, the iRock is the most interesting iPad dock we've ever come across. It's a traditional Pine wood rocking chair save for the iPad stand and the built-in generator that transforms the user's rocking into energy. There's also a set of speakers built-in to the chair's back in the event you want to chill and listen to music. 

The iRock is a "product that explores how furniture can interact with technology and actually support the power for this technology," says the company. "Movement is energy and to collect as much of this energy as possible is one of our future challenges." According to its measurements an hour of rocking can give an energy-drained iPad a 35% charge.

Is it cool? Yes. Is all that worth $1,300? To us? No. But maybe to those of you with wild disposable income. Head to the iRock website to learn more.
