It is inspired by the structure of a bullet train and is crafted using [natural materials including wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lichen-1) and cane webbing. This brings a warm aesthetic to the exterior, which is full of enclosures that hide the interiors for a clean look. The shelves rest in the middle, which are great for pets to explore or storage for pet owners. The perforations throughout the console allow the pet to view the world around them as they explore the space. Additionally, it is finished with [cat-friendly fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-cafe-beds) for a soft place to rest.
