CLIENT INFO
This is my cat, Goat.(greatest of all time)
BEHAVIOR OBSERVATION
Like many other cats, Goat’s favorite thing to do is to get in my way when I’m working.
BEHAVIOR OBSERVATION
His second favorite thing is probably hiding.
CURRENT PROBLEM
While most cat owners enjoy their cats’ company, there aren’t many furniture in the market designed for both cat and humans’ need.
WHAT IF…
We take cat affordance into consideration when designing human furniture?
CAT AFFORDANCE
Price, form, function mean nothing to me.
If it fits, I sits.
USER TESTING
Using one sheet of plywood, I created a prototype for this table. Goat end up loving it, and the table has become his newest hiding place.
