The Design

About Neko Goten Arbre à chat

Neko Goten est un arbre à chat conçu pour s'apparenter à du mobilier haut de gamme. La structure est réalisée en chêne et en cèdre de la préfecture de Fukui, au Japon, et finie à la main par des artisans ébénistes. Neko Goten mesure 2200 mm de largeur, 600 mm de profondeur et 1800 mm de hauteur. Le design associe un escalier, une planche à griffer, un hémisphère transparent, un rouleau, un abri sphérique, un espace repas doté d'un rangement et un espace de couchage. Cette aire de jeu compacte convient aux logements en location, aux bars à chats et aux cliniques, où toute rénovation dédiée aux chats est impossible.
