About Polkota Modul Furnitur Kucing

Jika Anda memiliki kucing, Anda mungkin pernah mengalami setidaknya dua dari tiga masalah ini saat memilih rumah untuknya: kurangnya estetika, keberlanjutan, dan kenyamanan. Tetapi modul liontin ini memecahkan masalah ini dengan menggabungkan tiga faktor: 1) Desain minimalis: kesederhanaan bentuk dan variabilitas desain warna; 2) Ramah lingkungan: limbah kayu (serbuk gergaji, serutan) aman untuk kesehatan kucing dan pemiliknya; 3) Universalitas: modul digabungkan satu sama lain, memungkinkan Anda membuat apartemen kucing terpisah di dalam rumah Anda.

Production Technology
The base of the main part is made of a 20 mm thick laminated osb board (MDF is also possible). In the back part (the one that will be adjacent to the wall) there is a 150 mm x 38 mm x 7 mm recess for the fastener part. The 8 mm thick flexible Ceiba plywood part is fastened along the perimeter of the base using confirmats with pre-cut notches under the 5 mm deep rails. Another 8 mm thick layer of Ceiba is glued on top to cover the flat bars of the confirmations. The Ceiba part is painted with a graphite matt paint. The front panel can be made of plywood or mdf 8-10 mm thick. It can be painted with glossy white paint in the basic version or any ral color as desired by the customer.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part was technical. To find modern environmentally friendly materials and think about how to fix the parts. During the development process, it was decided to create an original fixture for hanging the module on the wall.
Research
Type of research: applied research. The aim of the study was to identify the owners' requirements for cat houses and the individual needs of their pets. The research was conducted in the form of surveys and interviews with owners of cats that have 2 and more pets. In addition to surveys and interviews, images of existing analogs on the market were also used. As a result of the research, several gaps were identified such as aesthetic appearance, no trash when used, ease of cleaning, etc. The research made it possible to create a product that meets the main stated needs of the consumer.
Inspiration
Many cat owners are faced with the need to provide a comfortable environment for their pets. This is especially true for those who keep two or more cats. The cat hierarchy, the love of high surfaces and secluded areas are all integral parts of a cat’s life. And among the samples on the market, there is quite a low percentage of those that allow the buyer to create his own, suitable for him composition. The module was inspired by the shape of a cat curled up in a ball of wool.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Moscow
Operation Flow
The module designed to be hanged on the wall to save place on the floor and give the opportunity for your cats to climb higher. It is easy to combine your own composition by using the 4 module’s details. If after some time you want to change the composition – just move the fixture parts on the wall to the new places.
