DESIGN NAME: Paws Share
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shared modular interactivity
INSPIRATION: My first inspiration sparked when I saw a friend's furniture-less home with a cat. Amidst the pandemic, many turn to pets for solace, especially in small rentals. Research revealed inefficient space use. I discovered "cat thing," offering innovative cardboard furniture for cats, igniting my design inspiration.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This symbiotic furniture encourages interaction between people and pets, with cats freely moving through its modular design. Offering various modules for storage or interaction, owners can customize combinations to fit different room sizes.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A piece of furniture that increases owner-cat interaction
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Two month, in uk

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 3d printed prototype and wood workshop
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Designed based on commercially available furniture sizes
TAGS: furniture,interactivity,modular
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: interview cat cafe, individuals, questionnaire
CHALLENGE: The way the furniture connects to each other was a problem but I solved it with mortise and tenon construction.
