Glass and steel and a place for kitty to nap, what could be more Moderncat? This gorgeous table, designed by Koichi Futatsumata from Japanese design firm Case-Real, combines sleek modern materials with a comfy rattan hammock for kitty to lounge in. Designed to put kitty on display, as in a museum showcase or store window, this is completely in keeping with my decorating style. I believe that cats should be given beautiful–but cozy–places to lounge so they can become the art in your home. What do you think?
Thanks to Mette and Daniela for the tip. Via freshome and designboom.

oOOOooooooOOOoOoo
i want!!!
January 23rd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
That is so cool!!
January 23rd, 2010 at 9:23 pm
This is the coffee table of my dreams! I too think my cats are the greatest works of art in my home.
January 23rd, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Absolutely love it. I tried to convince my mom to put her cat bed on the lower shelf of her glass-topped coffee table, but she wouldn’t go for it. This, I would so do.

I bet our kitties would be interested in objects laid on the glass desk and try to catch them from below

This is beautiful. My cats would love this because it has the overhead component, but also the hammock think going for it. My only qualm would be if you’ve ever had a glass top table with cats, you are cleaning A LOT. Their little feet walking all over it (especially if they’ve recently been in the litter box) make tons of marks that require daily if not twice daily cleanings. Otherwise, I love it!

Beautiful…..any info on whether this is available in Canada?
January 24th, 2010 at 7:22 am
WoW. This is so cool
January 24th, 2010 at 7:48 am
Gorgeous. Your cat becomes a sculptural item. I like this.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Is this for sale? We would love this for our apartment.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:13 am
Wow. My cats (and me!) would LOVE this. I need one.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:15 am
I really like this one.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:19 am
C’est une excellente idée et très esthétique, en plus.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:30 am
Beautiful! I love the idea of our kitties as art!
January 24th, 2010 at 8:34 am
I love it! My kitties would fight for it. I wonder where is it sold and how much? I followed links but couldn’t find the info.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:01 am
wow – love this. seriously, how can we buy?
January 24th, 2010 at 9:05 am
That is stunning–If only we could readily buy these in the store! Would love an option in black with glass as well!
are they available for anyone that doesn’t have a private jet to pick it up in Japan? lol
January 24th, 2010 at 9:18 am
LOVE THIS! Brilliant! Stylish and practical! Would be perfect for my singleton NYC lifestyle! Where can one find this?! I fear it’s spendy but must know how much!

Gorgeous… Now if only Target would come out with a version of this so that I can afford it!
January 24th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Love this!
January 24th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
My pleasure!!
January 24th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
This is absolutely gorgeous and yes I would love to have one in my home; I’m particularly impressed by the kitty-curve already woven into the rattan.
However, Kush, as he daily reminds me, is more than a work of art. And he would probably freak out if he saw a magazine being casually tossed on (a glass tabletop above) him, or even felt the vibration of it landing. I bet other ex-strays would, too. If this ever goes into production I hope they seriously consider that sort of thing.

Stunning on every level….
January 24th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
OMG My 6 cats would love this they could lay on the bottom and they would try and get what is on the glass!!!! I would love to have this in my cat room.
January 24th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
What an amazing idea, I love this!
January 24th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
Neat, multi-FUNctional idea. It seems like cat hair would stick to the bottom of the glass, so I would prefer a wooden top instead of glass. It’s cool that the glass lets you see your lounging kitty though.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Love it, want one, but in lieu of availability locally, am getting all sorts of DIY ideas…
January 24th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Beautiful and clever, I’d love to have one!
January 25th, 2010 at 5:30 am
I love how the bed is larger than most, it would fit both my kities!
January 25th, 2010 at 7:46 am
I love it! What a fantastic idea!
January 25th, 2010 at 8:44 am
What a fantastic coffee table! My cats and I would love one of these, thanks for sharing.
January 26th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Gorgeous! Can it hold two cats?
January 26th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
The japanese are always one step ahead of the game!!
February 6th, 2010 at 7:46 am
This would be perfect for my living area!!! Oooo… my Diesel would LOVE THIS!
Especially if I bought 3!
February 6th, 2010 at 7:49 am
I tried to find out the price with no luck.
February 9th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Love this table! I’m going to Japan later on in the year I’ll have to look out for this item! Very clever idea!
March 4th, 2010 at 7:07 am
Absolutely awesome! I love the cat.
April 15th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Hmm looks like they took a metal/glass coffee table, flipped the table upside down and put the glass on the top. add a cat hammok and … obviously a moneymaker…Cheap
