Cat lovers will agree that our furry friends deserve all the best. And thanks to several famous designers, cat owners no longer have to settle for ugly cat houses. The last unusual project of this kind was the minimalist NEKO cat tree, designed by designer Ye Komiyama for the Japanese manufacturer Rinn.
Made of wood imported from the Hida region of Japan, the main cylindrical structure consists of wooden slats that provide a play of light and shadow, and also allow cat owners to see their pets and play with them. The multi-storey structure is installed on an elegant marble base with the help of a central scratching post covered with jute.
According to representatives of the Rinn company, such a combination of marble and natural wood expresses "a cultural fusion between the wooden materials of the East and the stone materials of the West."
Inside the wooden structure, cats can hide from prying eyes, climb three floors connected by round holes, and bask on soft mats made of teardrop-shaped felt.
Light peeks into the cylinder through the gaps between the wooden slats, connecting the human interior "outside" with the cat interior "inside". This is how the designer expressed the concept of the "mutual presence" of man and cat, the relationship of the owner and the pet.
The functionality of the object does not detract from its decorative qualities: thanks to the rack structure and streamlined shape, the large-scale structure does not look heavy. In order for the object to easily fit into a modern home, the designer chose a minimal set of materials, which were warm light wood and cool white marble.
Such an exquisite design is not cheap: Rinn has released it to the market at a price of one million yen, which is approximately 500 thousand rubles.
