The team at Yamaha Design Lab has conceptualized a new range of designs that stray from the musical lineup with the Neko Yama and other tools. There are three concepts catered to feline friends without plans to commercialize them just yet. Starting with Neko Yama, it is a cat playground that follows the design language of Yamaha. It allows cats to have a platform to play around in, exploring the right spaces, holes, and other crevices.
Additionally, users can challenge themselves by playing with the design as well as it has a transparent build. It is followed by the Strumming Box which is a scratching post that unveils different colors when it is scratched on -- it results in a guitar-like visual. The Cat Music Box rounds out the design with its wheel structure that plays different music as it moves.
