a design centered on the theme of “human-pet interaction”, under which the pet products are not just for pets to use but also to be shared with their owners in riding, playing or using, thereby enhancing the interactions between pets and their owners. This collection uses bamboo as its primary material, and features the employment of tension and layered texture of bamboo weaving. It incorporates functional elements such as “Stationary bamboo” (pet bed), “Distant bamboo” (pet carrier), and “Full bamboo” (feed and water bowls), allowing pets to look at their owners at eye level and increase the sense of trust. The rounded shapes provide pets with a sense of security and trust, as if they were being cradled in the owner’s arms.
