‘Twilight’ cast members Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed autographed this beautiful ottoman for Urban Barn’s Charity Auction to benefit the David Suzuki Foundation. The functional footstool was used as a V.I.P seat at Vancouver Fashion Week; it's new, but does have a few star studded scuff marks.
Other celebrity signatures include K-OS, Paul Becker (‘So You Think You Can Dance Canada), Graham Pence (Producer), Anna Lotfipour (No no Spots), Johnny Kate, Joshua Helhason, Ken Abbey (Stars of Boulevard), The Stills (Tim Fletcher, Dave Hamelin, Liam O’Neil, Oliver Corbeil), Josh Tager (Sam Robert’s Band), Justin Peroff (Broken Social Scene), Tito Deville, Ultra (Band), and ETC.
Economic sustainability, conservation of the world’s oceans, human health, and solving Global Warming are important issues the David Suzuki Foundation has focused on since 1990. It’s definitely a terrific cause.
The auction ends on June 8, 2009.
