Catopia is a modular cat carrier and tunnel designed to provide a multi-sensory experience with dynamic patterns, soothing sounds, and calming scents. At home, it's a private playground on the go; it's a mobile safety fortress that helps cats feel secure and relaxed. My mission is to ensure every cat enjoys a peaceful day and every journey becomes a cherished memory.

Also Catopia is a specially designed and diverse space for cats, especially house cats that live in close relationships with humans. In designing Catopia, it became imperative to rethink the relationship between humans and non-human species, especially between humans and companion species. This relationship is not the traditional “owner-pet” hierarchical relationship, but rather a partnership of coexistence. Humans and animals are constantly changing and generating each other's existence through mutual companionship; every touch and every companionship is a deep conversation across species, building a strong emotional connection in silence.
