Sleeping under cardboard boxes is a longtime cliche behavior of persons without a home. So it is comedic, controversial or artistic to render this default choice a conscious design strategy? Whatever your opinion, these designs are remarkably lifelike from a distance - making even the most elegant bed appear to be covered in recycled and tattered cardboard scraps thrown together.

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.
