Dan Radcliffe from the Harry Potter movies has designed a piece of furniture store Habitat
, a furniture store in the UK. His creation, a "cu-bed," a kind of a soft rubik's cube that can be transformed into a bed or a barricade or a hiding-place.
All proceeds from the sale of this piece of furniture, which will go on sale in February, will be donated to Dan's charity of choice, Demelza House.
According to Caroline Cooren-Gleizak, Director of Communications of Habitat (in French):
We asked several personalities to design the object or the piece of furniture of which they would have dreamed of as a child.
Additional personalities asked to participate were Kate Winslet and Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut.

Wow, what a great idea. So I guess there is only one bed available? The website is a little hard to navigate. But what a fantastic idea!

What a wonderful idea, and I think Dan's design is both practical and attractive. If he really came up with the design himself, he certainly is very multitalented!

Dan designed a bed?...huh. Kind of odd, but to each his own. Is it just me, or does that thing look uncomfortable? Even after you deconstruct it and everything -- doesn't it look like something for a daycare?
I appreciate that this is for charity or whatever, but really -- Stick to acting Dan. Leave the furniture designing to the designers.

Honestly, that is so cool... I wouldn't say that just because it's Dan - that seems like a really cool piece of furniture... I would have definitely liked it as a kid...

Awww! That's definitely a child's fantasy made real. The best thing about it is that it's been made for charity.
