The classic story of the cat and the fish is turned on its head with the Fish Born Cat House. Putting the common predator into the belly of the prey is one way to empower the latter. Yet that is not to say that there is anything truly fishy about the feline bed. Instead, it is quite minimalist and stylish, which would suit many more living spaces.
Designed by Sang Nam-Park, the Fish Born Cat House provides a safe haven for one's beloved pet without completely shutting it out of the world. It is an open-aired and sun-filled design that the kittens will greatly appreciate. Made out of birch wood, it can also be used for small dogs. It is fitted with a gingham-patterned cushion that comes in red and blue.
