Meet “Igloo”, a table for you and a bed for your cat! To place in the living room or right next to your bed as a side table. The “Igloo” will make your pet warm and happy and your place will feel modern and sophisticated.

How easy it is to fill the place with pet objects and toys and turn your living room in a mess just for the sake of your beloved cat? And how often does a cat jump inside a box or any other stuff that makes him live in the shadows? How would a table that integrates a shelter for your pet could actually become a good idea?

These were some questions that led to the concept development, which was really the most important aspect of it. So, putting aesthetics aside I’ve started by designing the bed itself, using a sphere shape for a comfier look and feel but also to take advantage of how cats tend to lay down.

While working on this form the idea to create side connectors to attach four legs seemed to be a good one and so I’ve started to work on the balance between form and function.

Since the bed is made out of plastic, I wanted to create an interesting contrast with materials and shapes, so that the product could be used by cats but also could feel like a sleek piece of furniture. So, for example, by adding cut outs on the table top the product easily became sophisticated. The white wooden top helps to create a relation with the white plastic box underneath it.
