The Details

Create an original design for cat furniture that meets the below criteria.
  1. It’s sustainableAs part of Tuft + Paw’s commitment to environmentally responsible products, it must be made of ethically sourced and produced materials that don’t harm our planet.
  2. It’s affordableWhen your piece goes into production, we want it to be inexpensive enough that any cat owner can have it in his or her home.
  3. It’s beautifulDon’t skimp on style, we want to see something that adds a “wow” factor to modern homes and looks more like it belongs to an interior designer than a Tabby cat.
  4. It’s easy to shipWe want your design to be our customers’ go-to choice when they donate an item to a shelter. This means it has to be lightweight and easy to ship. Bonus points for collapsible flat-pack shapes.
  5. It’s practicalAlong with your physical prototype, give us technical drawings that specify exact dimensions and instructions for how it will be produced. Good luck!
