Severus Lian and Hao-Wen Chang create a cat-friendly furniture line that is geared toward satisfying the needs of both feline friends and their owners. The Peek A Boo pieces undertake a design-forward approach to functionality and aesthetic. The offerings are coated with a soft microsuede fabric and boast triangular openings. The way the Peek A Boo furniture is meant to be used is simple. While the interior of the pieces offers pets a space to nap and lounge, the exteriors can be used by humans to sit or lean.
One example of the cat-friendly furniture boasts a tubular piece that humans can use as a pillow, while their pets can nap inside of it. Due to the construction of the offering and its perforated body, the interior is kept cool and comfortable.
