People (generally single women in their 30′s) spend a lot of time making sure their interiors look the way they want them to, only to find an ugly dog bed haunting a corner inside their home. The ‘Dog House Sofa‘ by Korean designer Seungji Mun, was made to tackle this problem with a streamlined, minimalistic piece of living room furniture.
Part of the m.pups line of pet furniture, Mun created the sofa for the increasing number of nuclear families residing in Korean cities with pets. Much like the Western world, dogs in Korea are more commonly co-existing indoors with humans. Having a separate “everything” for your pet seems impractical; separate bed, separate feeding stations, and sometimes even, separate doors. This may be a turnoff for people who are in the market for a new pup.
The piece is created with solid ash and canvas fabric with a cushioned side table with enough room for a small to medium sized dog to easily fit in, allowing interaction with the pet through the top of the table. The sofa cushions themselves are simple in design, which I can imagine makes for easy cleaning for all of that inevitable dog hair.
