This past week was ICFF, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, one of the largest shows of contemporary design, held annually in New York City. Apparently, the pet offerings were a bit slim this year, but designer Akemi Tanaka showed a prototype of this stylish and minimal new cat perch, called Curve. The molded plywood shelf attaches to the wall and was originally designed as a window seat. The pad snaps in place to keep kitty from sliding off. No pricing or availability info yet, but I will be sure to post an update when it is.

Hi! While in search of a cool b-day gift for my kitty Whisper, who turns three today, I’ve stumbled across yr website for the first time … and now, woe is me–I cannot seem to exit your universe. Ha, haa! Soooo many wonderful ideas.
As for this nice Curve perch, I wanted to let your readers know that it is now officially available; check the Burke Decor site for Tanaka’s wares. It comes in two veneers, maple or walnut, and is $240 with free shipping.
