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.

How weird. I want to see a picture of this thing, because I'm having trouble picturing a rubik's cube/bed/barricade. It's kind of random that he designed a piece of furniture.

That sounds pretty.. creative, actually. Who would've thought Dan could be a desinger?! Ha ha. That's great of him to be helping out with the charity, though!

That bed is so flipping amazing. Dan is such an amazing guy, now that's a good idea, its a bed, but its a barricade, but its a hiding place. It can be packed into a small cube, its amazing, I would love to have that. Its probably going to be like 20,000 dollars or something like that, damn, I can't afford that, and my mother won't pay 20,000 for a bed anyways.
