I know we just posted (a super awesome) Dog-I-Y last week, but I couldn’t possibly wait a whole month to share this DIY project! Ben Uyeda, from the incredibly cool DIY blog HomeMade Modern, sent over his latest project: a DIY geometric wooden dog house. ISN’T IT AMAZING? I’m pretty sure I involuntarily spit coffee all over my monitor when I opened his email and saw the photos.
LoveThyBeast is a brand new pet accessories company based in Brooklyn whose modern products are blowing my mind. From beds to totes to travel bowls (to this awesome pyramid house - OMG), their collection is absolutely stunning, not to mention built on the principles of sustainability: all of their materials are locally milled, sourced from craftsmen and textile mills within 200 miles of their office. I LOVE that.
You may have seen Kenya Hara’s most recent project, Architecture for Dogs floating around the Internet this past week. I originally spotted it in the latest issue of print publication Metropolis Magazine (highly recommended, P.S.), whose now-online article contains looooads of fantastic photos from this project to peruse (and amuse). But first, what’s this “Architecture for Dogs” business all about anyway?
The Koppinen Dog House by Finnish designer Saara Utti is designed with form and function — and limited space — in mind. This plywood beauty is available in three sizes, its space-saving design fitting just-right in whichever corner you place it!
We’re doing some “landscape renovation” in our backyard, and I’m wondering whether we should provide the pups a little hang-out spot of their own in the design (although they pretty much hang out wherever they please, including in the garden, which is technically off limits). The modern doghouses from Decatur, Georgia’s Meset Shop definitely have me inspired.
Provided your dog doesn’t have a cardboard fetish, these quirky indoor dog houses from Starfruit may just be the perfect place for Fido to catch some Zs. Made from recycled content (and completely recyclable in its own right), the Petree Dog House comes in 6 snazzy, screen printed colors!
How cool is this DIY indoor dog house?? The instructions are in Dutch (hooray for Google Translate), but it’s a pretty easy, straight forward project. Check out 101 Woonideeën if you care to give it a go!
(Also? This project from Scandinavian Deko is pretty similar and could definitely be used as a dog house!)
