Paw Bowl: A Stylish and Functional Solution for Your Pet

Slow Feeder Design by Kayoko Nishii

When it comes to our furry friends, we always strive to provide them with the best. That's why designer Kayoko Nishii created the Paw Bowl, a sleek and stylish pet bowl that combines both form and function. Inspired by her own cat's eating habits, Nishii set out to design a bowl that would not only be visually appealing but also help slow down fast eaters like her friend's cat, Taiga.

A Unique Design

The Paw Bowl stands out from other pet bowls with its two types of unique inner "paw" designs. One design is raised to slow down a pet's eating, while the second design is just slightly showing, adding a touch of personality to the bowl. The side grooves make it easier for the user to pick up the bowls, and the smoothness of the material and design of the paw prints allow for easy cleanup. Additionally, the color of the paw print can be personalized, making the bowl truly stand out.

Designed with Care

The Paw Bowl is made using a meticulous process that ensures both durability and safety. The design starts with a hand-built clay model, which is then digitally modeled and 3D printed. A hand-built paw sculpture is attached, and a four-part plaster mold is created. Through user testing and research, the glaze for the color is perfected, resulting in a beautiful and functional final product.

Functional and Practical

The Paw Bowl is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The raised inner paw design helps slow down eating, preventing pets from regurgitating their food. The square exterior base design allows the bowl to fit seamlessly into any room, while the inner round arch prevents food from getting stuck. The exterior curves reduce the chance of pets picking up and overturning the bowl. The material of the bowl is thick and heavy, making it difficult for pets to push it away and preventing scratching of floors. The bowl is also designed with easy-to-grab sides, ensuring convenience for pet owners.

Award-Winning Design

The Paw Bowl has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Pet Care, Toys, Supplies, and Products for Animals category in 2021. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, showcasing innovation and practicality.

Choose the Paw Bowl for your beloved pet and provide them with a stylish and functional feeding experience. With its unique design, durability, and thoughtful features, the Paw Bowl is a must-have for any pet owner who values both aesthetics and functionality.
