Dynamic furniture featuring pendulum-like motion

A dynamic furniture system, comprising:

• a first frame portion;
• a set of rollers mounted to the first frame portion;
• a second frame portion including a rocker defining a roller-interface surface having a curved profile;
• wherein the set of rollers interface with the roller-interface surface of the rocker such that the second frame portion is moveable relative to the first frame portion by rotation of the set of rollers along the roller-interface surface of the rocker;
• a mass transfer subsystem mounted to the first frame portion or the second frame portion, the mass transfer subsystem including:
• a ballast portion,
• a ballast pathway, and
• a set of one or more electro-mechanical actuators operable to move the ballast portion back and forth along the ballast pathway;
• and
• an electronic control system electrically interfacing with the set of one or more electro-mechanical actuators to adjust a positioning of the ballast portion along the ballast pathway based on a first control input to provide motion control and/or balance control of the first or the second frame portion to which the mass transfer subsystem is mounted.
