11. The Minimalist Plywood Cat Cocoon
The Minimalist Plywood Cat Cocoon celebrates the beauty of raw materials and organic shapes. Using high-quality birch plywood, this design features a series of stacked, concentric wooden rings that are glued together to form a smooth, rounded, egg-like cocoon.
Assembling this structure requires cutting concentric circles of varying diameters using a jigsaw or CNC router, then sanding the stacked layers to create a smooth, continuous exterior curve. The natural laminations of the plywood create a beautiful striped pattern along the sides of the cocoon. The interior offers a dark, cozy, womb-like environment where cats feel incredibly safe and secure. A simple, round wool felt pad is all that is needed to complete this stunning piece of functional art.
