Centrepoint’s latest arm in its mission to raise funds for and awareness of the thousands of young people at risk of homelessness certainly has that stop-and-stare factor.

The 'Home Duvet'

The ‘Home Duvet’ – brought to us by interior accessories retailer Dutch by Design – fuses a stalwart of bedtime bliss with a stark reminder of all those sleeping rough under what little cover they can muster. 30% of profits from sales of the duvet that features a photographic print of a cardboard box will go to the charity.

Without doubt, the thinking behind the Home Duvet manages to be witty without trivialising the underlying message. Fortunately, the finished product does the concept justice and on initial glance, the box-bedding is resplendent with ambiguity.
