The flatpack design of the bed works by having the integrated cord pulled in order to erect the sides and create a sturdy yet undulating form for a dog to sleep in at home or when traveling. The unit can be paired with a mesh covering to create the perfect [dog carrier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biting-edge) for bringing the pet in a car or with you on a trip to keep them comfortable and cozy. The 'Κέρβερος' folding dog bed is the design work of Shih Wei En and is simple to stow away when not in use to keep it ready for use whenever required. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flatpack Pet Accessories:** The trend of creating innovative, space-saving pet accessories is disrupting the pet industry. - **Open-air Pet Carriers:** The trend of creating open-air pet carriers for traveling pets is disrupting the pet industry. - **Portable Pet Comfort:** The trend of creating portable, easy-to-assemble pet beds and carriers is disrupting the pet industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can benefit from leveraging flatpack and open-air designs to create new, convenient products for pet owners. - **Travel Industry:** The travel industry can benefit from offering lightweight, easy-to-carry pet accessories that make traveling with pets more convenient. - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can benefit from creating multi-functional pieces that include pet accessories, appealing to pet-owning customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Ergonomic Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barc-dog-bed.md) - [Multi-Use Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-human-dog-bed.md) - [Dog Bed-Equipped Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-furniture-design.md) - [Dual-Purpose Pet Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrow-pet-carrier.md) - [Geodesic Dome Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domehome-dog-bed.md) - [All-Terrain Inflatable Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outtask-jessigo-outdogs-airpad.md) - [Workplace-Friendly Doghouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barc-dog-kennel.md) - [Rollable Bell-Shaped Dog Kennels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poochchair.md) - [Customizable Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-dog-bed.md)
