Felt Cat Beds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Dot_felt lair' is an Award-Winning Design for Kitty Comfort

— July 5, 2017 — Lifestyle
Cats are cats and cats are creatures, and that means that they appreciate the creature comforts afforded by products like the Dot_felt lair. The cleverly designed, collapsible cat bed by CATS&CO has won a prestigious German award for design excellence, and any kitty will be sure to recognize that prestige as soon as it lays down for the first of its dozen afternoon naps.

In terms of makeup, the cat bed is relatively simple. It consists of a few felt panels stitched together to comprise the floor and walls of the bed, as felt is a material preferred by many cats.

The Dot_felt lair was designed by Agnieszka Grzegorczyk, the lead designer and owner of CATS&CO. Among the 5,500 entries in the iF International Forum Design GmbH, the Dot_felt lair came out as a winner, succeeding in the eyes of the 58-member jury.
