Office design has long focused on the visible: posture, productivity, aesthetics, and efficiency at eye level. But Central Bark, a desk designed by Chrissy Fehan for DARRAN, asks a quieter and more unusual question: what happens in the space beneath the desk?
At its surface, Central Bark looks exactly like what you would expect from a contemporary workplace system. The lines are clean, the proportions restrained, the materials warm yet professional. It belongs comfortably in a modern office without trying to announce itself. And that is precisely the point. The design does not rely on spectacle. Its intelligence lives in the details.
Integrated seamlessly into the desk is a built-in pet nook, a sheltered and intentional space designed for a dog to rest while their human works. Importantly, this is not an accessory or a playful add-on. There is no novelty bed clipped on at the last moment, no awkward cushion pushed beneath a workstation. The pet space is conceived as part of the desk from the very beginning and treated with the same seriousness as legroom, surface depth, or cable management.
The thinking behind Central Bark reflects a broader shift in how we understand work environments today. As offices become more flexible and as the line between home and workplace continues to blur, dogs are increasingly present. In creative studios, startups, and hybrid offices, they are already there, curled up under desks, navigating chair legs, occupying borrowed corners. Central Bark does not invent this reality. It is simply designed for it.
What makes the solution compelling is its restraint. There is no attempt to over-engineer the experience or turn pet-friendly design into a visual statement. Instead, the desk quietly absorbs this need into its form, maintaining a professional aesthetic while acknowledging that workspaces are lived-in and shared environments.
There is also a deeper layer of inclusivity embedded in the design. By accommodating dogs in a natural and integrated way, Central Bark supports people who rely on service animals, offering a workspace that adapts without drawing attention. It removes the need for special adjustments or explanations, allowing both human and canine to coexist comfortably within the same footprint.
One of the most thoughtful aspects of the design is the flexibility of the pet nook itself. The bed is not fixed in place. It can slide forward to give a dog more room to stretch or shift during the day, then tuck neatly back into alignment with the desk edge when not needed. This small gesture keeps the workspace visually tidy and spatially efficient, preserving the desk’s clean silhouette while offering adaptability where it matters.
Rather than proposing a radical reimagining of office furniture, Central Bark offers something subtler and arguably more impactful. It reframes good design as responsive design, attentive to how people actually live, work, and bring their whole lives into shared spaces. It is a reminder that inclusivity does not always require bold statements or complex systems. Sometimes, it is as simple as designing for the quiet presence under the desk, the one that is already there, waiting to be acknowledged.
In that sense, Central Bark is not just a desk for people with dogs. It is a case study in empathetic design, showing how small and thoughtful decisions can make workplaces feel more humane, grounded, and real.
We’re living through a strange moment where our refrigerators are smarter than ever, our thermostats learn our habits, and now, apparently, dogs can control household appliances. The Dogosophy Button, developed by researchers at The Open University’s Animal-Computer Interaction Laboratory, is a wireless switch designed specifically for canine use. Think of it as a smart home device, but instead of asking Alexa, you’re teaching your golden retriever.
This isn’t some novelty gadget cooked up to go viral on TikTok. The button is the result of years of serious research led by Professor Clara Mancini, who runs the ACI Lab. Initially created for assistance dogs who need to help their owners turn on lights, fans, or kettles, the button has now been launched to the public for any dog owner who wants to give their pet a bit more agency. The philosophy behind it, called “Dogosophy,” centers on designing technology around how dogs actually experience the world, rather than forcing them to adapt to our human habits.
So what makes this button dog-friendly? Start with color. Dogs see the world differently than we do, and blue happens to be one of the colors they can recognize most clearly. The button’s push pad is a bright blue, set against a white casing that creates high contrast, making it easier to spot against floors, walls, or furniture. The slightly curved, raised shape means dogs can press it from various angles without needing pinpoint accuracy, which anyone who’s watched a dog enthusiastically miss their water bowl can appreciate.
The button itself is built to handle the reality of being used by an animal. The outer casing is sturdy plastic designed to withstand repeated nose-booping and paw-whacking. The push pad has a textured surface that helps dogs grip without slipping, whether they’re using their snout or paw. Inside, a small light flashes when the button is pressed, soft enough not to hurt their eyes but clear enough to confirm the action worked. It’s the kind of thoughtful design that comes from actually studying how dogs interact with objects, not just shrinking human tech down to pet size.
The system is refreshingly simple. Each set includes the button, a receiver, and basic mounting hardware. The receiver plugs into whatever appliance you want your dog to control, from a lamp to a fan to a kettle. The button connects wirelessly up to 40 meters away, giving you flexibility in where you place it. Press the button once, the appliance turns on. Press it again, it turns off. No app required, no monthly subscription, no “please update your firmware” notifications.
For assistance dogs, this kind of tool is genuinely useful. A dog trained to help someone with mobility issues could turn on a light when their owner enters a dark room or switch on a fan during hot weather. But the public release opens up more playful possibilities. Your dog could theoretically learn to turn on a fan when they’re overheated, activate a toy dispenser when they’re bored, or signal when they want attention by flipping a lamp on and off like a furry poltergeist.
Of course, training matters. Professor Mancini tested the button with her own husky, Kara, noting that huskies are notoriously stubborn compared to more biddable breeds like Labradors. The button works if your dog is motivated and you’re patient. This isn’t plug-and-play; it’s more like plug-and-train-with-treats-and-repetition.
The Dogosophy Button is priced at £96 (including VAT) and is currently available through retailers like Story & Sons. Whether it becomes a legitimate tool for pet owners or just an interesting experiment in animal-computer interaction remains to be seen. But there’s something appealing about the idea of designing technology that considers more than just human needs. Professor Mancini puts it plainly: humans have built a world measured for ourselves, often pushing other species out. A button that meets dogs on their terms feels like a small step toward sharing space more thoughtfully.
Watching a dog struggle to walk is quietly heartbreaking. Movement, for animals, is not just mobility. It is freedom, confidence, and joy. The Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton was born from this understanding, blending emotional insight with advanced engineering to create a rehabilitation solution that truly listens to the animal it supports.
The project’s inspiration traces back to a news report on prosthetic limbs designed for disabled pets. While well-intentioned, many of these solutions revealed clear shortcomings. They were passive, rigid, and often uncomfortable, offering limited support beyond basic mobility. This realization became deeply personal when the designer cared for their own dog after a hindlimb injury. Seeing firsthand how difficult recovery could be for an animal exposed a larger issue. Modern rehabilitation technology has evolved rapidly for humans, yet animal care continues to rely on simplified, often outdated aids. This gap sparked a mission to extend intelligent, humane rehabilitation into veterinary practice.
Designer: Leijing Zhou
Instead of forcing movement, the Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton focuses on understanding intention. Borrowing principles from active exoskeleton systems used in stroke rehabilitation, the device uses surface electromyographic sensors to read muscle signals from a dog’s healthy forelimb. As the dog initiates movement, these signals are analyzed in real time to predict how the impaired hindlimb should move. The system then activates precise mechanical assistance, synchronizing the injured leg with the dog’s natural gait.
This approach transforms rehabilitation into a cooperative process rather than a mechanical correction. The dog leads, and the technology follows, creating movement that feels natural, fluid, and instinctive. By aligning assistance with intention, the exoskeleton reduces strain, encourages correct gait patterns, and supports faster, more confident recovery.
Personalization is central to the design philosophy. Every dog has a unique body, posture, and injury profile, so the exoskeleton is created using advanced 3D printing based on individual body scans. This ensures a tailored fit that distributes weight evenly and avoids discomfort. Carefully selected materials such as lightweight structural components, soft memory foam padding, and non slip contact surfaces prioritize comfort, stability, and long term wearability. This makes the device suitable not only for clinical rehabilitation but also for everyday use.
Developed between 2023 and March 2025 in Hangzhou, the project required extensive research and experimentation. One of the greatest challenges was interpreting muscle signals in animals, an area with little existing data or standardized methods. Translating raw biological signals into reliable movement predictions demanded repeated field testing, iterative modeling, and close observation of real canine behavior. Equally complex was balancing strength and comfort, designing a structure robust enough to assist movement while remaining gentle and non restrictive.
Ultimately, the Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton represents more than a technical innovation. It reflects a shift in how we think about animal care, recognizing pets not as passive recipients of aid, but as active participants in their own recovery. By merging empathy with intelligent technology, this project restores more than mobility. It protects dignity, independence, and the simple joy of movement.
In a market saturated with look-alike pet products, the Decopark Dino Bowl stands out by asking a deceptively simple question: What does feeding actually look like, for both cats and their humans? From that question emerges a ceramic object that blends ergonomics, storytelling, and quiet functional innovation into a single, memorable form.
At first glance, the Dino Bowl reads as charming and whimsical. Its silhouette resembles a small dinosaur mid-stride, with its neck arched forward and its spine visible along the back. However, this visual identity is not decorative excess; it is a design serving multiple purposes simultaneously. The bowl’s cylindrical form is bent at the center to create a slanted feeding surface, improving a cat’s eating posture. The “spine” at the back, meanwhile, is not just an aesthetic flourish: it is a fully integrated stir stick, transforming a playful metaphor into a practical tool.
Designer: Xueyong Liang
The designers behind the Dino Bowl began with observation. Research revealed two critical gaps in existing ceramic pet bowls: visual homogeneity and a lack of consideration for real feeding routines. Many cat owners regularly feed canned food, which requires mixing, yet most bowls offer no solution for this step. The result? Extra tools, cluttered countertops, and frequently misplaced stir sticks.
The Dino Bowl addresses this head-on by merging bowl and tool into one cohesive unit. The attached stir stick slots neatly into an insertion hole at the rear of the bowl, always returning to the correct orientation regardless of how it is placed. During feeding, it assists with mixing; afterward, it wipes clean and stores seamlessly back into the form. No extra parts, no visual disruption.
This integration is where the project’s core innovation lies: recognizing that usability is not just about the primary function (holding food), but about the entire micro-ritual surrounding it. Material choice plays a crucial role in translating this idea into a durable object. The bowl itself is made from high-temperature fired ceramic, giving it weight, stability, and a premium tactile quality. At 1kg, the bowl resists sliding during use, another subtle nod to feline behavior. The stir stick, crafted from PP, balances durability with ease of cleaning.
Designing a slanted ceramic rim, however, introduced a technical challenge. During firing, asymmetrical forms are prone to deformation. To counter this, the designers engineered a double-layer rim structure, reinforcing the edge while preserving the intended silhouette. Multiple iterations were required to refine both the curvature of the bowl and the fit between the stir stick and its housing, ensuring harmony not only in appearance but also in manufacturing reliability. The result is a one-piece ceramic form that feels intentional from every angle, cute, yes, but also structurally resolved.
Pet products occupy a unique space in design: they must satisfy animals ergonomically while appealing emotionally to humans. The Dino Bowl leans into this duality. User research indicated that owners are strongly drawn to playful shapes, especially in objects that live openly in the home. By referencing a dinosaur, an instantly recognizable, almost universally beloved figure, the bowl becomes more than a utility item. It becomes a character.
Yet the designers were careful not to let novelty overpower function. Every line, proportion, and junction was calibrated to maintain unity between bowl and stir stick, ensuring the product reads as a single, holistic object rather than an accessory-laden gimmick. With overall dimensions of 168 × 140 × 164 mm and a bowl capacity of 115 ml, the Dino Bowl is compact yet substantial, suited to everyday feeding without overwhelming a space. More importantly, it demonstrates how even the most ordinary household objects can be reimagined through careful attention to behavior, context, and form.
Cat owners know the struggle intimately: fur on every surface, hairballs appearing at the worst moments, and the daily battle of brushing a cat who’d rather do anything else than sit still for grooming sessions. Most grooming tools are either stressful for cats or a constant hassle for humans, and the result is often a home that never quite feels clean, no matter how much you vacuum or sweep throughout the week.
PawSwing Neo offers a different way to keep cats happy and homes fur-free without the usual stress, resistance, or effort from either party. With its bionic cat-tongue grooming system, cozy felt house design, and zero electricity required for operation, it turns grooming into a natural, stress-free part of daily life. No batteries, no motors, no fighting with your cat over a brush they absolutely hate—just feline instinct and clever design working together seamlessly.
Real user feedback from thousands of cat households across more than 48 countries highlights PawSwing’s mind-blowing effectiveness in collecting substantial amounts of fur in just one week. Some owners even describe opening the collection boxes to find surprising amounts of shed hair they didn’t even realize their cats were losing daily. The visible results speak for themselves, with up to 80 percent less fur accumulating on furniture, clothes, and floors throughout the home.
The Neo’s compact, cube-shaped house is crafted from renewable PET felt that’s durable, scratch-resistant, and soft to the touch for comfortable lounging throughout the day. Its lighter weight at 4.8 kilograms and smaller footprint compared to the Pro version make it easy to move between rooms and fit into any living space without dominating valuable floor area or clashing with your carefully chosen furniture and decor.
The adjustable entrance adapts to cats of all sizes, from petite British Shorthairs to fluffy Maine Coons weighing up to 40 pounds, without struggling to fit through. Observation holes cut into the felt sides let curious cats keep an eye on their surroundings from a safe, cozy hideaway, supporting their natural instinct to survey territory from protected spaces. For multi-cat households or shy felines who crave privacy and security during meals, this design creates a personal retreat.
Inspired by the structure of real feline tongues perfected over 11 million years of evolution, the six patented comb modules inside the Neo replicate the hollow, hook-shaped papillae that cats use for grooming across all species from house cats to tigers. As a cat enters or exits through the grooming ring, a spring-loaded kinetic plate powered entirely by the cat’s own movement rotates the combs, delivering a gentle, 360-degree massage without requiring any external power source.
The flexible comb material and golden-ratio bristle design ensure a soothing, familiar sensation that mimics a mother cat’s lick during early kittenhood. This instinctive recognition means even grooming-averse cats who run from traditional brushes often accept and even enjoy the Neo’s gentle touch during their regular visits. The patented combs remove loose fur from root to tip, preventing it from being swallowed during self-grooming or spreading throughout your home like tumbleweeds.
The entire system is non-electric and completely powered by your cat’s natural movement through the grooming ring without requiring any external energy, eliminating the risk of pinching, overheating, or noise that might startle sensitive cats. Fur is collected automatically in dedicated boxes beneath each patented comb module, and all parts are washable with standard cleaning solutions. The simplified four-piece assembly makes setup and maintenance a breeze, even for people who struggle with complicated pet products.
Mealtime becomes a wellness ritual as the Neo’s main food bowl encourages cats to enter, eat in complete privacy, and enjoy a full-body grooming session in one smooth experience that requires no additional effort. The felt exterior doubles as a premium scratching surface for satisfying natural clawing instincts without damaging furniture, carpets, or walls throughout your home. It creates a safe haven for resting, playing, and watching the world from multiple observation points.
PawSwing Neo fits naturally into design-focused homes where pet products typically clash with carefully curated aesthetics and modern furniture choices. The combination of less shedding, fewer hairballs, and happier cats creates a cleaner, more harmonious home environment that doesn’t require constant maintenance, expensive grooming appointments, or daily cleaning sessions that steal time from more enjoyable activities with your feline companions.
If you’ve ever watched your dog or cat leap onto the bed or sofa with reckless abandon, you know the mix of pride and worry that comes with it every single time they make that jump. Pets love being close to their humans and feel safest at elevated heights, but those jumps can put a lot of strain on their joints, especially as they age or if they’re recovering from injury or surgery.
Most pet stairs solve one problem while creating another entirely different headache for pet owners. They’re either clunky and impossible to store when guests visit for the weekend, plain ugly and clash with your carefully chosen furniture and decor, or just take up too much space in already crowded rooms. Finding stairs that actually help your pet without ruining your interior design feels nearly impossible for most pet owners.
PawStairs offers a smarter solution with modular, flat-packable stairs featuring swappable, scratch-resistant paddings that blend into your home seamlessly and unobtrusively. The system lets you build two or three steps depending on your furniture height and your pet’s climbing needs, adapting to beds, sofas, or any favorite nap spot throughout your home. Assembly is easy and intuitive, requiring just minutes even for people who struggle with furniture assembly.
When you need more space for guests or just want to reclaim floor area temporarily, the stairs pack completely flat for compact storage under beds or in closets. The clean lines and minimalist silhouette mean PawStairs looks right at home in living rooms or bedrooms without screaming “pet product” to everyone who visits. Two wood finishes let you match your décor, with Original offering light tones and Walnut providing warm, rich hues.
Each step is topped with a scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean padding in velvet or leather options for different textures and looks. If a cover gets worn from daily use or you want to switch aesthetics, just swap it out without replacing the whole stair. The non-slip base pads ensure secure footing on every step, and the stairs support pets up to 99 pounds, from tiny Pugs to large Golden Retrievers.
The swappable padding system means maintenance is simple and stress-free for busy pet owners juggling work and family. Muddy paws, shedding fur, or the occasional accident wipe clean in seconds, and when a cover needs refreshing, you just pull it off and snap a new one on. No complicated proprietary tools, no wrestling with awkward clips or zippers, just quick swaps that keep everything looking fresh and inviting.
Built from high-quality solid wood and scratch-resistant leather and velvet, PawStairs is engineered specifically for long-term durability under daily use from active pets. If any part ever wears out from enthusiastic climbing, you can replace just that component instead of tossing the whole unit. This modular approach reduces waste dramatically and extends the product’s life for years of reliable use without requiring complete replacement.
Imagine your senior dog climbing onto the couch without struggle, or your cat confidently reaching her favorite window perch for afternoon sunbathing sessions. PawStairs makes these moments effortless for them, reducing stress on aging joints and lowering anxiety in small breeds or pets with mobility issues who might otherwise avoid heights altogether. The stairs work equally well for young pets who need safe access.
For multi-pet households with different-sized animals sharing the same space, the modular design means everyone from tiny kittens to large dogs can find their perfect step height and climbing rhythm. The neutral wood tones, clean aesthetic, and swappable paddings let PawStairs blend naturally into your home while making your pet’s comfort and safety a visible, intentional part of your living space without sacrificing style or floor space.

AI Health Monitoring and Effortless Maintenance
What’s a good appliance these days without some smart features? The Catbula Pro features cutting-edge AI health monitoring that analyzes your cat’s stool, records its activities, and delivers real-time insights to your smartphone via a dedicated app. It can, for example, determine the viscosity of the cat’s output and correlate that with its state of health or diet. It can also keep tabs on your cat’s litter box visits, activity levels, and health status, so you’re always just a tap away from knowing your cat’s well-being.
Designed with convenience in mind, it takes care of everyday cleaning tasks so cat owners don’t have to. The system automatically removes waste from the litter and places it in a sealed chamber for convenient disposal. Boasting a 20-liter waste box, you won’t have to clean out the waste compartment for 14-21 days, depending on usage and the number of cats. This convenience is especially appreciated by busy pet owners, who no longer have to add litter box maintenance to their daily chore list.
When it does come time to take out the trash, you can easily slide out the box without getting your hands dirty. With the automatic packaging system, cat owners can relax, knowing their homes stay clean and their hands stay fresh. Catbula Pro makes pet care simple and effective, eliminating the need for manual litter box scooping. The self-cleaning mechanism also minimizes litter scatter, reducing the time needed for general cleaning around the litter box area.
Triple Protection Mechanism
The Catbula Pro features a sophisticated triple protection mechanism to ensure your cat’s safety at all times, including intelligent camera monitoring and radar technology. First is the structural safeguard: the spacious open-top design allows cats to freely enter and exit, eliminating entrapment risks. This feature provides peace of mind to cat owners, knowing their pets can safely access the litter box without getting stuck. This safety-first approach is critical for pet owners who worry about their cat’s well-being during their absence.
Secondly, it includes a dual-layer protection system of software and hardware that goes beyond the standard weighing system, which often struggles to recognize smaller cats or kittens. Instead, the Catbula Pro uses a more advanced direct observation and perception system. This dual protection includes an intelligent camera monitoring system located in the upper right corner of the litter box interior, offering a complete view regardless of your cat’s size. The intelligent camera ensures that every movement of your cat is tracked, providing additional safety by stopping the cleaning mechanism whenever a cat is detected inside.
The second layer involves a millimeter-wave radar system on the right side of the interior. This radar can penetrate obstacles to detect the machine’s interior and surroundings. These two systems work in tandem, ensuring that once a cat is detected approaching or entering, the system immediately halts operation within milliseconds, providing comprehensive protection. This level of attention to detail makes the Catbula Pro an industry leader in pet safety, addressing cat owners’ concerns and ensuring that small kittens and larger breeds are fully protected.
Avoid Catastrophes, Enjoy More Cuddles

We're a pet-loving staff here at Engadget, with diverse distribution of cat people, dog people, other-small-fuzzy-creature people, bird feeder enjoyers and so on (at press time, I'm unsure if we have a rat person, but I'd be surprised if we didn't). And, of course, we love getting new gadgets of all sorts for our pets as much as for ourselves. This list, with gifts as low-tech as a blanket and as high-tech as the best $30 two-way camera you'll ever use, is for the pet lover in your life — whether that's you or another favorite human. Every entry comes waggingly approved by at least one fuzzy friend.
People these days are adopting more and more pets, sometimes more than their homes can accommodate. Dogs might have no problems staying in outdoor doghouses, but domesticated felines tend to prefer indoor accommodations. Of course, there’s no shortage of furniture for cats, ranging from litter boxes to scratching posts to climbing trees. The problem is that the majority of them are all designed to take up space on the floor, which leaves less room for human furniture. Just like how humans realize they have plenty of unused vertical space, this cat furniture concept grows upward rather than sideways to let you comfortably accommodate one or more furry felines, even if you don’t have much space for yourself either.
Vertical furniture is definitely becoming a trend as we realize how precious little floor space we actually have. Unfortunately, that’s only part of the solution, because just like floor space, the vertical situation in our homes can change as well. Unlike regular furniture, however, vertical designs often have a fixed height and configuration, preventing us from easily rearranging these pieces of furniture.
FROHZ Cat Castle is a design concept that solves both those problems with a simple modular design. The furniture system is made of five pieces that can be freely rearranged as needed. Of course, they have certain limits given their fixed shapes, but you can, in theory, combine them in many ways without permanently committing to a particular configuration.
The largest part of the modular furniture system is the cat litter box, a tall cabinet with two doors at the top, one of which has an oval opening for the cat to crawl into. A “Play/Rest” box has a slightly similar design, except it’s a simpler and smaller box designed only to be a resting spot. An even simpler version of this is an arched structure with openings at the front and the back. There’s also an L-shaped scratching “post” and a simple storage box to keep kitty toys and accessories.
Arranging these pieces is as simple as stacking them on top of each other or putting them side by side, with some connectors to keep them from easily falling apart from the cat’s movement. The open-ended design even allows for more than one piece of each type to accommodate more than one feline in the house. And should the number of pets you own increase or decrease, you can quickly add or remove modules as needed. You might even be able to challenge yourself to come up with a creative design, one that would truly make your cat feel like a king or queen in its own castle.
