Teacup dogs, the epitome of cuteness and chic pet, deserve a carrier that makes a stylish impression. Inspired by luxury designer bags, the machine-routed Elm wood ornate side panels, vegetable tan leather cover, and upholstered cushion create a comfortable and safe haven for the pet. Subtle aesthetically pleasing details, such as the hand-crafted dog charm and buckles, can be personalized and interchangeable to coordinate with the owner’s outfit of the day, or interior decor. This piece will surely make heads turn and is the perfect carrier for fashion-conscious owners and their tiny companion.

Our team took a minimalist approach to creating a safe space for our “Tea Cup” Friends.  By limiting the complexity and number of elements, we have a clear definition of the different design components.  The primary interest is created by creating a subtle parabolic shade structure with the use of a series of simple straight lines.  All in all creating an interesting, highly crafted home that is sure to be a conversation piece in any home or yard!

Taking cues from the early 20th century Bauhaus graphic styles and functional simplicity, this cozy, yet open, airy dog-haus provides a cave-like sleeping area, integrated eating area, and a perching stoop for the sophisticated teacup pup. Constructed of parametrically-shaped layers of plywood, the shape of this dog-haus is a 3 dimensional sculpture of the word “DOG”. On the back elevation, the plywood layers form a legible graphic of the word DOG.  This DOG-haus unifies function, artistry and playfulness in a stylish design that every teacup pup and their human can enjoy.

The form is inspired by a polyhedron shaped dog toy that serves as an art piece.  It allows air flow and natural light intrusion via abstract perforations on inverse sides.  Interior colors were consciously selected to fall within a dog’s color spectrum of visible light.  The home creates a safe, comfortable, and appropriately scaled dwelling space as a temporary dog retreat.

“Pupperoni Macaroni” explores the silhouette of a conventional dog house extruded along a bent “macaroni” curve. This simple gesture allows for two “front doors” for two different pups or for the always classic game of “running in circles”. Put two or more houses end-to-end and create unlimited squiggles and loops. Drawing inspiration from the facade of James Stirling’s No 1 Poultry in London, the stripes visually tie the two doors together and give the house a timeless and contemporary look suited for the modern doggo.
