These two beautiful new climbing towers are the latest designs from The Refined Feline. The first is made from bent plywood with FLOR carpet tiles covering the shelves and large sisal scratching pads on the sides. Standing 7 feet tall, this gorgeous tower will make quite a statement in any modern interior. The second tower fits in the corner, taking up minimal floor space. Matching wall shelves can be added to extend the climbing area. Both will be available from The Refined Feline soon.

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.

Introducing the brand new modern cat scratcher from moderncritter. This elegant bent plywood form stands three feet tall and can be configured in a variety of ways — hang it on the wall to create a raised perching shelf, lean it against the wall requiring minimal floor space, or lay it on the floor for cats who prefer horizontal scratching. Made of molded plywood with walnut veneer and finished with a clear matte lacquer, the moderncritter scratcher is designed using FLOR carpet tiles as the scratching surface. Carpet tiles are easy to change when carpet becomes worn or just to customize your scratcher to match your decor.
Completely made and assembled in the USA. Available directly from moderncritter.

This sculptural double feeder, designed by Jon Wesley Rahman of Holden Designs, combines molded plywood and stainless steel to create a beautiful object that also provides health benefits for your cat. Raised feeders aid digestion by preventing the physical stress that can be caused when pets eat in a bent over position. This is the smaller version of the Holden double feeder, which would be suitable for cats.
The feeder holds two dishwasher-safe stainless steel bowls. The bent plywood base is covered in hardwood veneer with a walnut or cherry finish and water-resistant outer laminate. The feeder and other pet products from Holden Designs are available at designpublic.com.

Making its U.S. debut at the SuperZoo pet industry show this week in Las Vegas, is a new line of Italian pet furniture by b.pet. Unlike anything else at the show, this extremely modern collection is obviously rooted in Italian design. Five different bed styles include the minimalist Tube and Ring, the retro-pop Bubble, the modernist-inspired Squared, and the more elaborate Wave. All are made in Italy and are currently being imported to the U.S. by Kylo Importers.

Canadian firm Vurv Design has taken a characteristically modern material– molded plywood–and used it to design this sleek bed. The Wowo pet bed comes in a variety of veneers including walnut, jatoba, and bamboo. This beautiful lounger would look great in any modern home. Perhaps kitty will stay off your vintage Eames lounge if she has one of these for herself.
