I want this! The "CATable"

Although, I don't think our cat would fit.



Wait a minute. Is that a cat inside a table?

Created by Ruan Hao for Hangzhou and Hong Kong-based architecture firm LYCS, CATable is a functional wood table that’s designed for both people and cats!

With the proper-sized holes and long passageways, the table encourages cats to roam freely around your workspace. Their natural curiosity would be satisfied by exploring the unknown paths behind each hole. According to the architecture firm, the desk was created due to cat owners’ shared experience: “Putting away the cat from your lap top was like a sentimental ritual of temporary farewell.”

As Hao succinctly states, “It is a table for us, and a paradise for cats.” CATable was exhibited at 2014 Milan Design Week.
