Katwalk

The project KATWALK offers modular design that meets the needs of both cats and their owners. It consists of a panel, attached to the wall, upon which different accessories can be hung for the cat to rest, play, scratch or watch the world go by on.

The point of interest is in focusing my final degree project in this area: cats in domestic spaces whose “belongings” are considered to be accessories and not furniture to be integrated into the home. The design adapts to the different domestic spaces in which our pets can play, rest or groom themselves, and at the same time, it takes “us” and our possible interest in using and interacting with the product into account. It’s about seeing a cat as one of the family, or as another roommate, and not as a pet with standard accessories.
