Designed by Stephan Verkaik and Beth Horneman from Catham City, the 'Loveseat' is an armchair and cat wheeled in-one, designed to bring cats closer to their human companions. The chair design brings two worlds together and launches on Kickstarter on April 20, 2021.
The 'Loveseat' boasts an armchair for pet owners and a cat wheel for cats to use alongside their human companions. In the pet design world, it is unusual to focus on the interactions between pets and their human companions. Catham City's 'Loveseat' addresses this very issue with its sustainably made product. The chair's recycled PU cushion material is scratch-resistant to ensure that cats won't dig through the fabric.
Shipped in a DIY self-assembly bundle, the 'Loveseat' gives users the freedom to decide which side to install the wheel.
