Founded in 2021, the Dutch company SØDE Design wants to put design and sustainability at the heart of what it does. It offers Scandi style, sustainable furniture for cats that cat parents can use, too. This is unique in the market. Each piece of furniture is handmade in Portugal by factories promoting the circular economy.
The company has two products for now:
- Origameow, a multifunctional playground for cats where the cat can sit, chill, scratch, hide and nap. It can also be used as a bar stool for humans.
- Flower Pawer, a vertical scratchboard and a flower pot at the same time. It’s made with cork, wood and premium cardboard.
SØDE Design aims to put an end to the reign of the ugly cat tree. The company seeks to provide stylish, Scandinavian-inspired pieces of furniture that will delight the cat, enhance the owner’s interior and be good for the planet. SØDE intends to develop the D2C business and also look for wholesalers via a platform like Faire. The company has already been contacted by distributors in Japan and Germany.
