Most homeowners struggle to find a suitable place for their furry friends to rest their heads that doesn't compromise their home's decor aesthetic. Featured at the 9 Lives Design Show at Singapore Design Week 2017, this [cat collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) serves as an alternative to the [traditional cat bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapeutic-cat-bed), which is an eyesore in most homes. Infused with inspiration that draws from ancient Egyptian mythology, this product incorporates reflective pyramids to add [climbing and scratching elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-scratcher) that any cat would enjoy. BAST Cat Furniture fuses sculpture with practicality to produce an object that's as much for cats as it is for the owners. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pet-friendly Home Decor:** Opportunity to create more aesthetically pleasing pet furniture and accessories that fit seamlessly into a home's decor. - **Cultural-inspired Pet Products:** Opportunity to draw inspiration from historical and cultural elements to create unique and appealing pet products. - **Multi-functional Pet Products:** Opportunity to create pet products that serve multiple functions for both pets and their owners. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Furniture and Accessories Industry:** Opportunity to explore new design concepts that cater to pet owners who prioritize both their pet's comfort and their home's aesthetic. - **Home Decor Industry:** Opportunity to expand product lines to include pet-friendly home decor, appealing to pet owners who value a cohesive design aesthetic. - **Cultural and Historical Niche Markets:** Opportunity to tap into niche markets by creating products inspired by cultural and historical elements, appealing to consumers with specific interests and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Stimulating Cat Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catit.md) - [Pyramidal Feline Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-cat-furniture.md) - [Cat Cafe Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-cafe-beds.md) - [Hybrid Feline-Friendly Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cat-tower.md) - [Cityscape-Like Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocats.md) - [Functional Furniture Cat Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donarturo-cuba-cat-house.md) - [Pet-Catered Sleek Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papuk.md) - [Contemporary Cat Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-collection.md) - [Cat-Friendly Seat Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jingcyuan-tang.md)
