Flat-Pack Dog Beds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Klaffer' is a Doggie Version of Nils Holger Moorman's Popular 'Siebenschlafer'

— September 27, 2016 — Lifestyle
Nils Holger Moorman's Klaffer is a miniature take on the Danish designer's popular full-size Siebenschlafer flat-pack bed. No, the Klaffer isn't a children's bed; the designer has already made the Spross bed for that. Rather, the Klaffer is even smaller -- it's a flat-pack dog bed.

Part of the appeal of flat-pack furniture is that it is so much easier, and thus cheaper, to transport. However, Moorman's flat-pack beds are even more portable than other flat-pack designs because they are completely without metal pieces. They instead use sturdy wooden slots and slats that can be taken apart and reassembled at will.

While such transport freedom isn't essential for a human bed, the flat-pack design is great for a dog bed, allowing owners to brings their pets' beds with them on trips without much hassle.
Trend Themes
1. Flat-pack Pet Furniture - There is an opportunity to create more flat-pack pet furniture items that are easy to transport.
2. Wooden Furniture Alternatives - More designers can explore the use of wood and other sturdy materials as alternatives to metal in furniture designs.
3. Pet Travel Accessories - There is potential to create more pet travel accessories that are both practical and stylish, such as portable food and water bowls or collapsible pet carriers.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Furniture - Companies in the pet furniture industry can innovate with flat-pack designs that make it easier for pet owners to transport their pets' beds.
2. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can explore alternatives to metal in furniture designs to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly products.
3. Pet Travel Accessories - Companies in the pet travel accessories industry can create products that balance practicality and style for pet owners traveling with their pets.
