Actor Ewan McGregor, supermodel Helena Christensen and Formula One legend Sir Stirling Moss have turned their hands to product design - with surprising results.
They and 19 other celebrities have been asked to create an item to celebrate furniture store Habitat's 40th anniversary, and have come up with their own designs for everything from a director's chair to a shoehorn.
The finished products will be sold across Habitat stores in Britain.
Trainspotting star McGregor decided on his design after hours waiting on set for his spot on camera in uncomfortable directors' chairs. The 33-year-old's £150 ($410) fold-up canvas and wood creation has extra padding.
Supermodel Christensen designed a £40 ($110) flower-shaped table light after "visiting a friend's house for dinner and being mesmerised to find that his dining table was decorated like a wild-growing garden complete with a grass-covered table-top".
Grand prix legend Sir Stirling has designed a home/office storage set, comprising a three-drawer chest, letter tray, magazine file, box file and blotter pad.
