Razvoj pohištva za mačke

Ograjšek, Gašper (author), Kariž, Mirko (mentor)

Pohištvo za domače ljubljenčke, posebej mačke, predstavlja področje z veliko potenciala. Z znanjem o mačkah, prepoznavanjem njihovih potreb, z ustrezno izbiro materialov ter željami potencialnih kupcev lahko razvijemo ter skonstruiramo kvalitetno pohištvo, ki bo ustrezalo tako hišnim ljubljenčkom, kot tudi njihovim lastnikom. V diplomski nalogi smo se posvetili razvoju pohištva za mačke, zato smo naprej naredili pregled različnih karakteristik mačk, nato smo se osredotočili na že obstoječe primere pohištva oziroma opreme za mačke na trgu. S pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika smo preučili preference potencialnih kupcev. Ugotovili smo, da potencialni kupci strmijo po čim večji funkcionalnosti ter kvaliteti. Preferirajo svetle odtenke pohištva, izdelke v velikosti od 100 do 200 cm in s sorazmerno razporeditvijo odprtih, zaprtih prostorov ter prostora za praskanje. V programu SolidWorks smo na podlagi rezultatov anketnega vprašalnika zasnovali 8 modulov, katere odlikuje odlična modularnost. Pohištvo, skupaj z vsemi zasnovanimi moduli, smo poimenovali The Cat’s Decision. Tako v Sloveniji kot tudi v tujini še nismo zasledili podobnih modulov, zato menimo, da imajo le-ti velik prodajni potencial.

Abstract

Furniture for pets, especially cats, is a market with a lot of potential. By knowing about cats, identifying their needs, selecting the right materials and combining that with the wishes of potential customers, we can develop and construct quality furniture that will suit both pets and their owners. In the thesis we focused on the development of furniture for cats, so we first made an overview of the different characteristics of cats, then we focused on the existing examples of furniture or accessories for cats on the market. We used a questionnaire to study the preferences of potential buyers. We found that potential buyers are looking for maximum functionality and quality. They prefer light-coloured furniture in sizes between 100 and 200 cm, with a proportional distribution of open, closed and scratching areas. The results of the questionnaire helped us to design and construct furniture for cats. We designed eight modules in SolidWorks, which are distinguished by their excellent modularity. We named the furniture – including all the designed modules – The Cat’s Decision. We have not seen any similar modules in Slovenia or abroad, so we believe that they have significant sales potential.
