With the increase of population and urbanization, the human home environment is increasingly shrinking. An increasing number of people around the world live in increasingly smaller spaces where the furniture needs to be accordingly adapted and multifunctional. Many of them share their home with their pet, which is predominantly a cat or a dog. There are a number of differences between them, both physical and psychological. Cats are more independent, agile and like narrow, small spaces and heights, while dogs are very attached to their owner, less agile and need a little more space for play and rest. Due to the vast differences between the species and the challenge posed to me by different sizes of dog breeds, I focused my graduate work on the dog and its owner. The product is a piece of furniture designed primarily for dogs, of several sizes, but can also be used by its owner. It combines modularity with storage and the possibility of a bed. When buying the product itself, the owner has the ability to purchase basic supplies to start a shared life with his dog. The product acts as a standalone element in the space, which, with its more purposefulness, unites the user with his pet.
