Teaming up with a veterinarian and cat behaviorist, Netherlands brand SØDE Design has launched a collection of luxury cat furniture that "purrfectly complements contemporary interiors", tilted ORIGAMEOW.
ORIGAMEOW is a multi-functional hideaway, perch, scratcher, and play space for kitties that also serves as a seat for humans. The second model is FLOWER PAWER, a wall-mounted cat scratcher with a built-in flower pot on top. Another version is PAWTY ROPE, a handwoven using recycled industrial waste that is durable and safe for cats to play with.
Handmade in Portugal where renewable energy and good working conditions underpin the manufacturing process, these pieces of cat furniture have sustainable designs that both cats and humans will love.
SØDE Design is crowdfunding to raise €23,000 (Approx $24,915) on Kickstarter until May 5th, 2022. Perks include a discounted Early Bird FLOWER PAWER made with premium cork, cardboard, textile, and wood for €169 (Approx $183), saving €80 off retail with delivery by October 2022.
