PET Felt House For Your Feline Friends

The core value of repurposing is to use a residual material in a way that compliments the material’s properties to the best of it’s abilities. By using our residual stream of recycled PET-felt scraps to create a series of cat houses, Meuq design did just that. The studio has been working with WasteBase’s waste streams for some time now, developing a broad variety of products like lamps, designer chess-boards and lifestyle products. After experimenting with the material over a considerable period, it just clicked for cat-lover Ties Westerhuis; PET-felt is the ideal material to make a hideaway for our feline friends.

Cats naturally are solitary animals that seek out quiet places to retreat and relax. In the wild, cats hide in small, enclosed spaces to avoid predators and remain unseen by prey. Domestic cats never lost this instinct, hence why they enjoy napping in corners and under couches. The cat house mimics this natural environment, making it instinctively appealing to them.

We are very proud that a partner of ours is able to repurpose a current waste stream and transform it into something truly unique and functional. This collaboration not only gives new life to recycled materials but also creates products that cater to the natural instincts of our pets, showcasing the perfect harmony of sustainability and thoughtful design.
