Revolutionizing Feline Comfort: The Hulumao Diamond Bed

Shih-Chang Hsiao and Yu-Luen Huang's Innovative Approach to Cat Furniture

Observing cats' affinity for cardboard boxes, the designers were inspired to create a cat bed that would not only satisfy the cats' instinctual needs but also be environmentally friendly. The Hulumao Diamond Bed is made from hard corrugated cardboard, a material that is not only recyclable but also provides a comfortable surface texture for cats. The bed's unique diamond shape was dictated by the material's characteristic limitation to be folded only in straight lines, resulting in a geometric form that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

The Hulumao Diamond Bed is not just a resting place for cats, but also a playground. The scratcher, located in the center of the interior, allows cats to exercise their paws, and can be replaced when needed. The bed's curved bowl shape, reminiscent of a nest, provides a sense of security for cats. Moreover, the bed's open space design makes it suitable for cats of all sizes.

One of the unique features of the Hulumao Diamond Bed is its assembly process. The bed comes in a flattened package design, making it easy to ship. It takes only a few minutes to assemble, providing cat owners with the joy of building a comfortable space for their pets. The double-layered hard corrugated cardboard ensures a strong and solid structure, capable of withstanding the weight and activity of cats.

The Hulumao Diamond Bed is not just a product, but a result of extensive research and careful design. The designers conducted thorough research on cat behavior and incorporated their findings into the design. The bed's structure and material were chosen to provide the protection and warmth that cats naturally seek. The challenge was to balance the material and structure for production, ensuring the bed's stability and comfort, while also enabling mass production.

The Hulumao Diamond Bed is a testament to Shih-Chang Hsiao and Yu-Luen Huang's innovative approach to design. It has been recognized with the prestigious Golden A' Pet Care, Toys, Supplies and Products for Animals Design Award in 2017, a testament to its outstanding design and functionality. The bed is not just a cat toy, but an important piece of display in people’s living area, able to accommodate the aesthetic of the environment or stand out as an interesting structure in the living space.
