IKEA Launches Their First Ever Pet Furniture Collection Called LURVIG, For The Trendsetting Dog And Cat
The Swedish designers at IKEA have now launches their very first pet furniture collection. Called LURVIG, Swedish for “hairy,” the collection is made for all trendsetting dogs and cats who want to enjoy their home together with their owner.
IKEA’s new collection LURVIG was created by “pet loving designers with support from trained veterinarians.”
Some of the items IKEA pet owners can purchase include the LURVIG scratching post, which can be firmly attached to their table leg, and the cat can scratch away.
There are dog/cat blankets and cushions are in bright green, orange, white, and black, with the sort of fresh and graphic Swedish textile designs that IKEA is known for. Not only decorative but also practical, these blankets can keep annoying pet fur away from populating people furniture.
The LURVIG dog/cat bed has a removable cover that can be machine washed. Another key feature is a seat cushion that folds out, creating more space for pets who are hosting a slumber party or just want to stretch out in bed.
The LURVIG frame for pet bed offers two different sizes that can be set up one of two options. One option allows for the LURVIG pet cushion to be placed inside in a “cozy nook” style, with walls that are just over nine inches tall. Or the bed frame can be flipped upside down, giving the pet a sort of taller bed, allowing for the pet easy viewing in all directions.
The LURVIG cat house on legs offers many design options, depending on the finicky feline. The cat house can sit on its own legs, it can be hung on the wall, or it could slide right into the KALLAX shelf unit. The latter offers an option for the kitty’s sleeping abode to sit cozily on a shelf.
