I’m all for unusual design in any form, but I have to say that I had a rather visceral reaction to Le-Clochard’s “homeless inspired” bedding set.

I suppose it comes down to my vehement dislike of rich people commandeering, bastardizing or otherwise making light of the experiences endured by the less fortunate. The thought of someone rolling around in expensive, delightfully soft cotton sheets and getting a thrill out of the fact that they look like a cardboard shelter makes my stomach turn.

Supposedly some of the proceeds go to help the homeless (commendable, but still an uncomfortable irony in my opinion). I do admire the realism of the design. I’d love to see other “bedding subject matter” covered by a designer with this kind of talent.

PS. Am I the only one who thought of the Derelicte campaign in Zoolander upon seeing these?
