# Cat Commode Consoles The Circa50 Collection Conceals a Litter Box or a Pet Bed Behind Cabinets By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circa50-collection References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Circa50_Standard_MidCentury_Modern_Design_Litter--Furniture--Home.html) & [modernistcat](http://www.modernistcat.com/products/circa50_standard.html) For those who are short on space but not on feline company, the Circa50 Collection offers a place to keep the unpleasantries of pet ownership completely out of view. Modernist Cat sells four products that keep your kitty's business tidy and three of them provide [privacy for your independent critter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batsy-cat-shelter). The Circa50 Standard is the largest wooden cabinet. Its retro design closes up behind two doors but features several circular openings through which your pussycat can come and go. The Circa50 Compact I and II are slightly smaller and littler still, incorporating fewer entry holes and maintaining tinier footprints. [Litterboxes can be placed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-cat-litter-box) in any of the [three discrete sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petlux-v3), or else cushions, if that's what you'd rather. The latter setup makes the Circa50 Collection perfect for canines as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hidden Pet Furniture:** Opportunity to disrupt the pet furniture industry by offering designs that cleverly conceal pet necessities, like litterboxes and food bowls, while still maintaining aesthetic appeal. - **Multifunctional Pet Products:** Opportunity to disrupt the pet product industry by creating items that serve multiple purposes, such as a console that doubles as a bed or litterbox enclosure. - **Space-saving Pet Solutions:** Opportunity to disrupt the pet industry by designing furniture and products that are space-efficient, particularly for pet owners living in small apartments or homes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Furniture:** Pet furniture manufacturers can explore designs that prioritize functionality and space-efficiency while also incorporating trendy aesthetics. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can cater to pet owners by developing furniture pieces that accommodate pets without sacrificing style or living space. - **Pet Supply Retail:** Pet supply retailers can expand their product offerings by featuring multifunctional furniture and space-saving pet solutions to meet the needs of pet owners living in small spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Feline Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-hidden-litter-box.md) - [Dynamic Cat Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-object-litter-box.md) - [Odorless Spacious Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catbula.md) - [Elegant Cat Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-cat-litter-box.md) - [Mid-Century Modern Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawbby-p1-ultra.md) - [Luxe Trunk-Like Pet Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zulo-mx-sandbox.md) - [Functional Furniture Cat Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donarturo-cuba-cat-house.md) - [Secret Decorative Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-litter-box.md) - [Modern Pet-Friendly Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choo-choo.md)
