Duvet Covers Inspired by a Homeless Cardboard Box 

Ever slept under a cardboard box? Probably not. There is a unique project launched in the form of duvet covers by Le Clochard. When I first saw these pictures I wasn’t sure whether the bedding was made out or real carton or cotton, but after I’ve read a little about this project I’ve found that they are made out soft 100% cotton and you can really sleep under it. The Le Clochard Project by SZN hopes to help young homeless people in the Netherlands. A large portion of the proceeds from the sale of the quilt cover and the pillow cases goes towards helping young folks in the Netherlands find work or continue education. For those of you who would like to contribute to this project, or just have a really interesting duvet cover they are available from Snurkengoed’s website, in several sizes in a price range from about $73 to $117. A set of two pillow cases costs about $22. For international buyers you can purchase it from this website. – Via – Doobybrain

    Gross and offensive — redeemed slightly by the fact that it benefits the homeless. You’d be better off just giving them the money directly vs sleeping under your faux ‘aren’t I hip, it’s so fun to pretend to be homeless!’ sheets. Vomit.

    This is crazy – it looks so real! But I wonder if it also offers sound sleep… personally I like the more luxury way…

    It reminded us that we are the same people everywhere, eventually they are sleeping in the streets but it could been us too,

    Edredón de cartón…

    Una idea un tanto original, son unas fundas de edredón con apariencia de cajas de cartón, es lo más parecido a dormir en la calle, pero calentito. Lo de dormir en la calle no es cosa de risa, por ello los fabricantes de estas fundas, destinan parte …
