DAIKEN Neko Chef + Neko Step Living with pets LAB

In collaboration with DAIKEN’s “Materials for Cats” series, we developed building components that help people and cats live together comfortably and deepen their bond.
Neko Chef is a unique shelf system that combines human storage with playful cat pathways.
Cats can move freely through holes and spaces built into the shelves—across, behind, or inside the units.
Some doors even serve as cozy hiding spots, offering comfort and security for cats.
Neko Step is a sleek, wall-mounted system that supports a cat’s natural love of heights.
It helps relieve stress and prevent lack of exercise, providing safe, easy-to-climb surfaces with anti-slip finishes.
