THE COPENHAGEN COLLECTION

Chic new pet furniture collection debuts in Sydney

COPENHAGEN dog lounger

With its clean, contemporary lines that blend perfectly with today's low-slung boxy sofas, daybeds and ottomans, we believe the COPENHAGEN dog lounger is the most stylish pet perch on the market.

Available in three sizes, the sturdy base is covered in easy-to-clean and highly realistic-looking imitation leather, which comes in two colours: all-white or chocolate brown with contrasting white stitching. It comes fitted with an ultra-soft, washable mock suede cushion.

Small (65x45cm / 26x18in, size dog: e.g. Schnauzer)
Medium (85x60cm / 34x24in, size dog: e.g. Cocker Spaniel)
Large (100x70cm / 39x28in, size dog: e.g. Labrador)
· Alternative use for non pet owners: Kids' TV lounger


COPENHAGEN dog feeding table

This is our favourite piece in the collection and customers without pets have been snapping it up for use as uber-cool snack tables! Made of top quality faux leather, the table base features two holes into which generously-sized ceramic bowls snugly slot (included). Ingeniously designed at three different heights, your pets can now chow comfortably without stooping down and straining their necks.

Small (40x20x10cm / 16x4x2in)
Medium (40x20x20cm / 16x8x8in)
Large (56x28x28cm / 22x11x11in)

* Alternative use for non pet owners: snack table; hall/bedside organiser (throw in your wallet, keys, mobile phone etc); planter duo (fill with cacti, flowering spring bulbs or water with floating flower heads and candles).


COPENHAGEN pet carrier and matching bottle holder

Sporting this chic ensemble, we guarantee you'll be the envy of all other pet owners when you're out-and-about. In highly realistic-looking faux leather, the pet carrier features front pockets for all your essentials, a sturdy shoulder strap for when an extra hand is needed, a smart ring to attach the leash on and a comfy, washable mock suede cushion. The matching bottle holder comes with a detachable key ring and will keep you and your pet stylish - and more importantly hydrated - when walking, hiking or simply shopping.

* Alternative use for non pet owners: shopping bag; magazine holder; toy organiser.

COPENHAGEN cat condo

Stack this stylish trio on the floor or on a shelf and we reckon no one will be able to guess that it's feline furniture. Fashioned from top quality faux leather, the set comprises three pieces. At the top, a storage box organises kitty's toys, grooming accessories and other cat paraphernalia. Beneath it, a bed box comes fitted with a comfy, washable mock suede cushion. And on the bottom, the litter box is fitted with an ingeniously designed disposable recycled-cardboard liner, making cleaning easy and fuss-free.
(Please note that imitation leather is not scratch-proof).

Disposable litter liners available in packs of 4 (lasts approx. one month). Available at: http://www.glamourpuss.com.sg/

COPENHAGEN cat feeding tray

Cool kitties deserve stylish dinnerware to eat off. The COPENHAGEN cat tray comes with two funky square ceramic bowls. And because cats are notoriously messy eaters, we've created an easy-to-clean faux leather tray to catch any rogue remnants.


Cat feeding tray (30x30cm / 12x12in): US$65 (including two ceramic bowls)

* Alternative use for non pet owners: nibbles tray; jewellery organiser; display tray (with bowls removed).


COPENHAGEN cat scratcher

Save your designer Italian furniture by installing this chic faux leather cat scratcher with a recycled-cardboard scratch-bar on the floor or on the wall. Your cats will love having “a manicure” on this stylish scratch-bar! Place it in front of your cat litter box, and it will double as a doormat, catching any stray litter.

THE COPENHAGEN COLLECTION
Chic new pet furniture collection debuts in Sydney

Tapping into the growing demand for stylish home interiors, as well as the increasing numbers of pet owners, designer Ree-Yong has launched arguably the most stylish pet furniture collection currently on the market.

"People love their pets - they're as precious to them as children - so it makes sense that they want them to have fabulous furniture and accessories," remarked Ree-Yong at the debut of her exciting first collection.

Setting herself the primary criterion that all pieces had to be so stylish that you'd covet them, even without pets, Ree-Yong has created a collection of pet furniture that you'd be happy to have on display. "Often homes are small in urban areas, so we have no choice but to have pet furniture on show. However, if your flat's filled with Cappellini and Bang & Olufsen, you can't throw in an ugly wicker dog basket or smelly cat litter box. Homeowners want their pet furniture to blend into their stylish homes and look as good as their own pieces."

She also wanted the collection to be practical, so Ree-Yong chose good looking but durable, low-maintenance materials such as imitation leather, washable mock suede and impervious ceramic.

Not only do the collection's clean, contemporary lines blend in and complement the modern urban interior, they actually go on to enhance them. The COPENHAGEN range includes a chic dog lounger in imitation leather fitted with a washable mock suede cushion, and an ingenious faux leather dog feeding table into which two impervious ceramic bowls slot. "The table raises the bowls to a comfortable height, so your dog doesn't need to stoop down and strain its neck while eating. This design has proved so popular that customers are actually buying it to use as a snack table!"

For our feline friends, the clever COPENHAGEN cat condo in faux leather is so chic you'd never guess it was pet furniture. Consisting of three artificial leather boxes, the top storage box is used to organise cat toys, grooming accessories and other pet paraphernalia; the middle bed box is fitted with a washable mock suede cushion for luxury catnapping; while the bottom cat litter box is filled with a disposable cardboard litter tray for easy cleaning. Coordinating with the cat condo is a faux leather cat scratch-bar with a refillable cardboard bar that kitties love to scratch and a cat-feeding tray – two chunky ceramic bowls on a chic tray in artificial leather.

For when you're out and about, Ree-Yong has created the COPENHAGEN pet carrier with roomy pockets for your essentials, plus a matching bottle holder to prevent you - and your pet - from getting dehydrated.

The Ree-Yong range starts from $30.

My Paper

Our interview with My Paper Singapore

Monday 25th June 2009

By Dewi Sriwahyuto

Online store and designer team up to sell pet furniture, with part of proceeds going to society.

THE rising tide of abandoned pets and increasing number of pet owners have spurred an online pet store, Glamourpuss, and pet furniture designer, Ms Ree-Yong, to raise funds for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

Ms Daniela Riccio, who describes herself as the 'She-E-O' of Glamourpuss, told my paper: 'After reading about the abandonment figures, it quickly became a big motivation for Glamourpuss and Ree-Yong to join forces and raise awareness and funds for SPCA. As pet lovers at Glamourpuss, and in appreciation of all the volunteers at the SPCA, we wanted to do something that would help the SPCA.'

Last year, the SPCA took in a total of 8,739 animals. The number includes 2,970 dogs, 4,117 cats and 1,141 small domestic animals, such as rabbits and hamsters.

From May 1 until June 1, 30 per cent of the sales from the Copenhagen Collection by Ms Ree-Yong will go to the society.

The collection includes a dog dinner-set, contemporary dog beds and a trendy pet carrier, while the luxury line for cats comprises a cat condo set which consists of a litter box, a cat bed and a storage box.

Prices range from $15 for a pet bottle-holder to $399 for a bed for a large dog.

Designer Ree-Yong said she wanted the collection to be practical and chose attractive but durable and low-maintenance materials such as imitation leather, washable mock suede and ceramic to build the furniture. Ms Deirdre Moss, executive officer of SPCA, said: 'The pieces look modern and innovative and we are grateful to Glamourpuss and Ree-Yong for pledging to donate part of the proceeds from the sale of their Copenhagen Collection to help SPCA in its animal-welfare services.'

SPCA requires around $2 million annually to comfortably carry out its various animal-welfare services, such as cruelty investigation, 24-hour emergency service for injured and sick animals, education programme, running the animal shelter and a clinic for the treatment of abandoned pets and strays. -- MYPAPER
