Yorkshire: The Multifunctional Side Table Dog House

A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Comfort for Pet Lovers

The Yorkshire side table draws inspiration from the classic elements of trunks, such as metal corners, studs, hardware, stitching, and vegan leather trim. These details, reminiscent of traditional trunks, have been seamlessly integrated into the design. The lid of a traditional trunk has been replaced with a drawer, providing a surface to place objects like lamps or drinks.

What sets Yorkshire apart is the integration of a dog house into the lower deck of the side table. Recognizing the importance of pets in many families, Candy Apple Ltd. aimed to combine home elegance with comfortable pet living. The result is a multifunctional piece of furniture that caters to both the needs of pet lovers and those who appreciate beautiful home interiors.

The production process of Yorkshire follows traditional trunk construction techniques. The interior frame is made of wood, which is cut, sanded, glued, and nailed together. Vegan leather panels, cut from stencils, are then folded, stitched by hand, and glued to the wood frame. The vegan leather trim undergoes a similar hand-cut and sew process before being nailed onto the body. The specially designed metal corners and hardware are then applied to the top and secured with metal studs, each hammered in by hand.

With dimensions of 500mm in width, 500mm in depth, and 500mm in height, Yorkshire is a compact yet functional addition to any living space. Its sleek design seamlessly blends into various interior styles, providing a cozy sleeping space for pets without disrupting the overall aesthetics.

Candy Apple Ltd. embarked on extensive research to understand the history and construction of trunks, as well as the design principles behind interior dog houses. Vintage trunks from collectors and restorers provided valuable insights into the origins and construction techniques of trunks. This knowledge, combined with an understanding of contemporary dog house designs, allowed Candy Apple Ltd. to create a side table that captures the elegance of a trunk while providing a comfortable space for pets.

Yorkshire has been recognized for its innovative design and functionality. In 2017, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Pet Care, Toys, Supplies, and Products for Animals category. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that exhibit creativity, resourcefulness, and technical skill, contributing to improvements in quality of life.
