About Saturn Cat Bed
Saturn is a cat bed shaped as a rounded wooden pet house for modern homes. The form is built from triangular pieces of surplus wood, assembled in the manner of a football, so that offcuts from furniture production are reused and material waste is reduced. A large opening allows the cat to enter, while two smaller holes on the sides let the owner interact with the pet. The interior is finished with dark paint to create a calm and comfortable space. Saturn measures 480 by 409 millimetres.

- Unique Properties
- Saturn is a pet house with a modern style. Making full use of surplus materials of modern wood processing, this product reduces material waste and adheres to the maxim of sustainability. Moreover, it integrates elegance and utilization for a stunning view of modern home space.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 480*409mm
- Production Technology
- In terms of processing techniques, we imitate the way how the footballs are assembled, i.e. using triangles to assemble a round shape. This technique helps us make full use of and reprocess the surplus materials, thus reducing the waste during processing.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge lies in how to create a cozy environment for cats. Saturn is designed with two holes on either side for better interaction between the pet and its owner. In addition, based on the nature of pets, this product employs dark painting for a comfortable living space.
- Research
- The study shows that pet housewares are a hit in the household industry. Saturn can perfectly blend in with the modern household decoration, which caters for the nature of cats and uses quality wood material for security and comfort during usage.
- Inspiration
- The design team is inspired by the surplus materials during the production of modern furniture, which is premium in quality but cannot be reused for its sizes. Thus, they refer to the football and assemble the wood into a regular round shape.
- Project Duration
- Started in March 2021 in Beijing, this product was finished in November 2021 in Henan Province and was exhibited in Caochangdi Art District, Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- The cat can enter the pet house through the large hole, while the owner can interact with the cat via the holes on either side.
