“A Cat Tree Wall by 懐石 (KAISEKI)”
— A cat tree where both cats and people can share

Based on the idea of “a cat tree where both cats and people can share,” the design of A Cat Tree Wall by 懐石 (KAISEKI) strived to be unprecedented and unique, redefining the notion of the existing cat tree. Lying somewhere between furniture and architecture, the product celebrates the beauty of the co-existence of cats and people.
It is made from a special reinforced-type cardboard developed in Japan. In consideration of sustainable beauty, the structure is crafted without the use of screws, carefully layered one piece at a time by the hands of skilled craftsmen, and with the expertise of engineers specializing in cardboard.
This project, A Cat Tree Wall by 懐石 (KAISEKI), is the outcome of a happy collaboration between Petline, a renowned Japanese pet food company, and architect Tan Yamanouchi. By bringing together Japanese craftsmanship and advanced engineering, a unique product full of playfulness was realized to express the joy of cats and people living side by side.
