「CATch」是一款針對都市小宅環境開發的跨物種通用設計家具,核心理念在於化解都市化進程中日益嚴峻的人貓空間衝突。本設計徹底翻轉傳統寵物產品僅作為人類家具「附屬品」的從屬地位,轉而以「物種平等」為出發點,建立人與貓皆能1:1共享的功能介面。在僅約 10 坪的有限空間內,本產品僅佔用1.94%的地面面積,卻能透過模組化垂直堆疊設計,將空間分區效率提升達50%。
在材料應用與美學實踐上,本作品選用國產柳杉拼板、台灣柚木,並融合具備優異透氣性的傳統桂竹編織工藝。這不僅順應貓咪喜好抓撓與探索的天性,更解決了市面產品材料不耐用且風格難以協調的痛點。整體設計採取「去寵物化」美學,使家具在具備人類收納與承重機能的同時,亦是貓咪的安全運動場域。這種具備科學工學數據支撐的設計,能覆蓋不同品種、年齡的貓咪及各種身形的使用者,在提升貓咪福祉的同時,亦能確保居家環境的藝術感與安全性。最終實現「互相陪伴而不打擾」的質感共生生活。
CATch is a cross-species universal design system engineered to resolve spatial conflicts in compact urban homes. It shifts away from viewing pet products as mere "accessories," embracing "species equality" to create a 1:1 functional interface where both species are equal users. By employing a modular vertical stacking design, it occupies only 1.94% of a 10-pyeong apartment while increasing spatial efficiency by 50%.
The system integrates domestic Japanese Cedar, Taiwan Teak, and traditional Makino Bamboo weaving, utilizing the material's natural breathability to satisfy a cat's instincts for scratching and exploration. By adopting a "de-pet-style" aesthetic, the furniture functions as both professional storage for humans and an active playground for cats. Grounded in scientific ergonomic data, CATch accommodates various cat breeds and human body types, fostering a harmonious state of "undisturbed companionship".
