Introducing ROUND HAUS, a new multifunctional furniture family for curious cats and design-loving humans from luxury cat accessories brand Cheshire & Wain and furniture designer-makers Lozi Designs.  
 
Designed in East London and crafted by the highly skilled Lozi team, the creative union sees both brands’ expertise combine to create innovative designs that serve a cat’s complex needs and desires, with multi-purpose human use for placement throughout the home.
 
Aesthetically and functionally inspired by the Mid-Century Modern movement, the Round Haus Cat furniture family is beautifully minimal in its design using sustainably sourced, strong and durable birch ply, which is cleverly engineered using only one piece of wood.
 
ROUND HAUS is available in two elegant and intelligent iterations; each piece is crafted with the strictest attention to detail and includes a sumptuous faux shearling cushion for cosy catnaps inside the enclosed circular base.  For the warmer summer months, the shaded, open structure promotes airflow and ventilation to offer cats a place to keep cool.
 
ROUND HAUS 01 (£450) offers a hideaway, cosy enclosed bed and perch for cats, and a step, seat and side table for human use. ROUND HAUS 02 (£560) combines a bed with a raised observation tower for cats to explore and is a side table, storage, or plant stand for their owner. ROUND HAUS 02  can also be placed upside down - perfect for cats that prefer sleeping in an elevated position. To ensure minimal waste, the final offcut created in the manufacture of ROUND HAUS 02 has been made into a small circular tray with an engraved cat design on the reverse. This little plaque can be used as a tray or hung on the wall to confirm a cat’s place of residence.
 
Lightweight for easy movement around the home, the seamless construction ensures each design is strong and durable enough to take the weight of a human. ROUND HAUS furniture has an open base and white laminate top for ease of cleaning. ROUND HAUS 01 comes fully assembled and ROUND HAUS 02 is partially assembled for quick construction at home. Both designs are delivered in the smallest box possible to reduce one’s carbon footprint.
 
Sonja Farrell, Founder of Cheshire & Wain says: “As an admirer of their beautifully crafted furniture, I got in touch with the founder of Lozi Designs, Soroush Pourhashemi back in 2019 with a simple question…Why can't feline furniture be multifunctional, beautifully made and suitable for both cats and humans? Being a fellow cat lover, he wanted to create a solution to this too” “We are all cat lovers at Lozi, so this project was an exciting challenge for us, our goal was to create a design that solved a need and a purpose,” says Soroush Pourhashemi, Founder of Lozi Designs. “Round Haus embraces the Mid-Century Modern principles of beautiful functional simplicity, strict attention to detail and natural sustainable materials, delivering a stylish solution that will please design-loving cat owners and delight their curious cats.”
 
The Lozi X Cheshire & Wain ROUND HAUS cat furniture family is currently available at Cheshireandwain.com and lozidesigns.com in the UK only. International customers can enquire directly to register their interest. Both products are made to order with a four-week lead time.
