Japanese Artisans Create A Range Of High Quality Cat Furniture

Cats will lay pretty much wherever they want, and where humans see a box, bowl or computer keyboard they see a comfy place to catch some zzzzs.

This makes it hard to predict how cats will react when you bring home a bed, cat tree and other furniture made specifically for cats, but if you have a prissy kitty then they'll love this artisanal furniture made just for feline royalty.

Japanese design collective Okawa Kagu came up with the idea to make high quality cat-sized furniture when they realized the internet's obsession with cats could help revitalize the craft industry in the Fukuoka prefecture region:

Home to 150 furniture-manufacturing factories, Okawa Kagu came up with the idea to merge the internet’s love for cats with the skills of local artisans. The new production took existing full-scale designs and down-sized them to produce high-quality miniature versions that satisfy even the fussiest of felines.

The collection comprises of a pine wood sofa designed and produced by Hiromatsu Furniture, and a dark wood cat bed designed and produced by Tateno Mokuzai.

You can view the pieces at Okawa Terrazza—an information center with a focus on highlighting local design. Each product is available through the respective manufacturers.
