RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In recent years, pets gradually become an important member of families, and more people pay attention to living environments of pets, which drives growth of the market in pet beds and other related supplies. However, pet beds currently on the market are largely homogeneous, and usually fail to strike a balance between practicality and visual pleasure. They also have strong individuality and thus are difficult to blend into home environments.
CHALLENGE: The challenge is how to eliminate disharmony between pet beds and home environments. The design team, following the style of Italian furniture, has designed the product as a simple, elegant sofa to harmonize with other furniture. Such a design not only ensures a consistent style of a home environment, but also enhances a strong sense of belonging for pets to enable harmonious symbiosis of people and pets in a space.
