Human-Centered Design" for Pet Furniture: Balancing the Needs of Owners and Pets
Created on 10.27
Picture this: You've designed the perfect pet bed—durable, affordable, and visually appealing. But customers aren't returning. Why? Because while the bed looked great in their living room, their pet refused to use it.
This is the gap in today's pet product market: designing for pets without forgetting the people who live with them. The future belongs to furniture that balances both.
The Silent Struggle in Pet Product Design
1.The Owner’s Pain Points
- Aesthetics matter: Pet furniture must blend with modern home decor.
- Easy maintenance: Busy owners need stain-resistant, easy-to-clean surfaces.
- Space efficiency: Urban living demands compact, multi-functional designs.
2.The Pet’s Non-Negotiable Needs
- Comfort and security: Materials and shapes must align with natural instincts.
- Safety: Non-toxic, sturdy structures prevent accidents.
- Behavioral fit: Cats need vertical spaces; dogs seek den-like comfort.
