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.

That seems like a really odd idea for a bed. I like it though. I'm assuming the cubes unfold and stuff. I wish they'd let me design a bed. It would be my masterpiece.

It is always wonderful to see actors getting involved with charities to support those who are less fortunate than themselves.

That is a really weird idea to have celebrities design furniture. Dan's idea is also just as weird. Oh well it is for charity.

That is a really interesting piece of furniture. If I was still a kid, I would want that piece of furniture. Just think of the possibilities that one could come up with if they were playing.

Furniture? Well that's kind of random. It is really nice that he is helping out a charity though. What a nice person.
