How About A Green House For Your Dog or Cat? Modern Indoor Kennels / Planters.

The Kokon Kennel and the K-Bannette Kennel are indoor homes for small pets that are modern, ecologically friendly and double as decorative planters for flowers and greens. Created by Sebastian Haquet and Thomas Lanthier of Pousse Creative, the small pet homes can function as stylish modern hideways for dogs and cats or as litter boxes hidden from view. They come with flower pots or planters in the top and a comfy pillow. A plastic tub can easily be inserted to hold kitty litter.

A Hip Eco-Friendly Hammock For Dogs (or cats) From Pet Lounge Studios.

Well, since I blogged about a hammock for cats awhile back (shown below) , it's only fair that I give equal press to this one for dogs (although cats can use it, too).


above: the Cat Hammock Coffee Table Combo

The Bambu Pet Hammock (patented) by Corey Drew, designer and founder of Pet Lounge Studios, is an eco-friendly pet bed made with an exotic strand bamboo material, which has the look of a cross between teak and rich mahogany.



The sling-like cushion is secured with stainless steel anchors and carabineers. One of the additional bonuses of the stretched cushion is that it will help relieve the pressure points often associated with arthritis in pets.



The washable cushion is made with upholstery grade ultra-suede and is also reversible. The supporting canvas has minimal stretch and is designed for pets up to 30lbs in weight.



Dimensions:
Frame: 34"L x 25"W x 8"H
Cushion: 27"L x 21"W x 1"H

Manhattan based AvroKO is a full service integrated design and concept firm that develops environments, lifestyle brands and products. Retail store design, hotel design and restaurant interiors are just a few of their many disciplines. Their own initiated projects include such hip New York eateries as Public and The Stanton Social, and hotel designs for the Starwood group to name a few.

But amongst the talented group's designs lies a small line of furniture called The Transport Series. The collection was inspired by cars and motorcycles from the early 20th century and includes a lounge chair and ottoman, a desk lamp, an adjustable table, a stool and even a pet bed, most crafted of cold-rolled steel, walnut wood and leather.

Sophisticated and clubby, with industrial touches from the Machine Age, the furnishings are simultaneously masculine and elegant.
