Nest and Pod : The perfect addition to a modern home

It's nice to see an increase in modern pet furniture and accessories. Modernist pet owners no longer have to live with tacky items that clash with the rest of their home. They can now apply similar design aesthetics when selecting items for their pets. Gregory Kenny from Kilowatt Studio, a woodworker and designer from Vancouver (BC), created two beautiful modern cat beds that will look great in any modern space: Pod (shown above) and Nest (below), inspired by birds.

The beds are individually hand crafted in Canada, using wool, bamboo and organic cotton. So not only are they beautiful but they are eco-friendly as well. Another good reason to buy them is that a portion of the sales goes to the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association.

Of course, these cute beds can also be used by small modernist dogs.
