The 'Igloo' side table has been designed by Joao Teixeira as a functional furniture for homes with feline pets to help owners keep them supported in a simple yet discreet way.
The side table is characterized by its four-legged construction, which features a well-sized tabletop for placing drinks, books or additional decor pieces. The lower section is equipped with a pod-like unit that's perfectly sized for cats to keep them supported, but also out of the way. This makes use of an area that would otherwise be wasted space.
The 'Igloo' side table is designed with the modern consumer in mind who is increasingly a pet owner and also living in smaller living spaces. The side table is great for placement in living rooms, but will also function effectively as a nightstand.
