Famed Japanese studio Nendo made a minimalist take on dog products, by creating an elegant, toned down, and yet very pet-friendly collection. Cubic Pet Goods line consists of a dog house, soft toy, a line of ceramic bowls, and a ball. Each piece corresponds to both the dog’s needs and the human’s aesthetic desires. “The majority of pet products for dogs are roundish and cute, – designers say. – However, they aren’t often suited to interior spaces with walls, floors, ceilings, windows and furniture designed mostly in a linear manner. With this issue in mind, pet products are designed with a variety of functions, emphasizing compatibility with interior elements.” These pieces are also great gifts to a design-conscious dog owner.
If you have a big dog and a small apartment, you will love this thing. Designed by architects April Clark and Ed Richardson of Clark | Richardson Architects, Murphy’s Paw dog bed folds up against the wall and takes virtually no space. Unfold it with one fluid movement whenever her canine highness is ready for a nap. Brilliant! The piece is available in stained mahogany and painted wood. Contact designers for pricing.
