Duvet cover sets depicting a cardboard box and a pavement are being sold to raise
money for national homelessness charity Emmaus.

Dutch bedding company Snurk (which is Dutch for snore) have designed a range of 
bedding that has been digitally printed to look like cardboard boxes and pavement
slabs: 30% of the proceeds from sales will go to Emmaus.

The link between the product and the charity is very clear, but I’m not convinced
it will sell. Do you really want to go to sleep surrounded by street scenes? I hope
I’m proved wrong. Can you think of customers for this novelty product? Students?
