About Mia Сумкаи қаткунандаи гурба

Mia сумкаи қаткунандаи гурба мебошад, ки барои истифода дар хона ва берун аз он тарҳрезӣ шудааст. Mia зуд кушода шуда, ба бистари гурба бо андозаи 460 мм дар паҳнӣ, умқ ва баландӣ табдил меёбад. Дар ҳолати қатшуда умқи Mia танҳо 80 мм аст ва онро мисли китоб нигоҳ доштан мумкин аст. Сохтори қатшаванда аз коғази DuPont ва картони такроран коркардшуда сохта шудааст, ки ин маводҳо бо сабабҳои экологӣ интихоб шудаанд. Қисмҳои ивазшавандаи фарсудашаванда тозакунӣ ва нигоҳубини осонро таъмин мекунанд. Намуди зоҳирии ба китоб монанд ба интерьери хона мувофиқ аст. Mia фазои лозимиро барои интиқол ва нигоҳдории лавозимоти сафарии ҳайвоноти хонагӣ кам мекунад.

Production Technology
FurBallRetreat is crafted from environmentally friendly materials such as Dupont paper and recycled board, with full consideration given to environmental friendliness. The detachable property of DuPont paper enables it to contract flexibly, creating an extremely convenient product. This design not only emphasizes practicality and portability but also reflects a concern and commitment to sustainability.
Design Challenge
One of the greatest challenges we encountered during the implementation and research process was ensuring the compatibility of the FurBallRetreat between home and outdoor spaces. We strive to ensure that people do not have to occupy more space to accommodate the cat bag, and hope that FurBallRetreat will not only solve the problem of carrying the cat bag but also integrate into family life. At the same time, more environmentally friendly materials used in the design of cat nests are researched.
Research
We surveyed 500 cat owners and discovered that 83% of them carry a cat bag when going out with their cat, while only 12% do not. This indicates that carrying a cat bag is a common phenomenon. However, the cat bag occupies a large space and its storage when not in use is also a problem. In response to this challenge, we designed a portable cat bag for home, aiming to solve the problem of idleness, reduce storage space, make it easy to carry, and provide cats with more security. At the same time, more environmentally friendly materials are selected and matched.
Inspiration
When traveling or engaging in outdoor activities with cats, it is often necessary to address the issue of carrying pet outdoor supplies that take up a lot of space. This not only adds to the burden of the owner but also brings the trouble of storing idle items at home. In response to the challenges that families and cats encounter when traveling together, we explored how to design more portable cat shelters, aiming to provide a more convenient and flexible solution.
Project Duration
The project started in Shenzhen in March 2024 and completed in Shenzhen in June 2024.
Operation Flow
Whether you're in a garden, patio, or camping outdoors, FurBallRetreat can be set up quickly. When unfolded, it becomes a cat's bed that can be placed in any space, while when folded, it takes up only the thickness of a book. The use of replaceable wearing parts for easy cleaning and maintenance ensures that the living environment is always clean and hygienic.
