Cleaning and grooming come naturally with dog ownership, so the conceptual 'Zipup' pet house has been designed to help make the process easier for owners. The pet bed is designed with a zipping functionality that will actually shift fur and debris off the surface into the unit to allow for easy removal. This will help to keep a pet bed clean and prevent fur from infiltrating all areas of a home.
The conceptual 'Zipup' pet house is the design work of South Korea-based designer Hyoyeong Kim and has been imagined in black, gray and red color options. The contemporary design also makes it the perfect addition to any modern living space in favor of conventional alternatives that are more focused on function than form.
