近期，宜家首次推出专为宠物而设计的家具系列，其中有树屋般的猫窝，以及让宠物狗慢饮慢食的餐具。

Lurvig系列由InmaBermudéz设计，他认为市场上的宠物产品不尽人意。

IKEA's first furniture collection designed specifically for pets includes a treehouse-like cat hideaway, and a bowl that encourages dogs to eat slowly.
The Lurvig collection was designed by Inma Bermudéz, who felt there was a gap in the market for reasonably priced but nice-looking pet products.

除了弹力床和磨爪垫，该系列还包含有许多宜家的代表产品，如Klippan沙发。

在开发这套家具之前，这位巴伦西亚的设计师专门与宠物医生BarbaraSchäfer一起工作了一段时间，只是为了从更多角度去观察动物的行为与习惯。

Bermudéz说：“从诸如睡眠、吃饭等自然行为作为设计的出发点能够让这套家具更加实用。”

“宠物狗喜欢用嘴咬它们的玩具，而在玩耍过程中也会让这些玩具粘上灰尘。而猫咪则喜欢在各种物品上磨爪子，它们对气味与材质非常敏感，因此，安全耐用的材料非常重要。”她继续说。

As well as cushioned beds and scratching mats, the range includes scaled-down versions of iconic IKEA products, such as the Klippan sofa.
When developing the collection, the Valencia-based designer worked alongside vet Barbara Schäfer to make sure that different behaviours types and habits were being accounted for.
"It's really important to use an animal's natural needs and behaviours – like how they sleep, eat or play– as a starting point," said Bermudéz.
"Dogs will definitely chew on their toys and bring in dirt from their daily walks," she continued. "Cats will definitely scratch on most surfaces and are sensitive to smell and texture. So safe, durable materials are very important."

Bermudéz的62件小家具基本涵盖了睡眠、吃饭、玩耍、旅行和散步等方面。

为了猫咪的睡眠，她设计了迷你Klippan沙发，这是一个树屋式的小窝，以及一个茧型攀爬架。

“安心床”可以用于堆放主人的旧衣服和毯子，而床架可以作为一个舒适的角落，倒置过来便是一个狗窝。

设计师解释说：“我最骄傲的是这个宠物坐垫，上面铺满了主人的旧衣服、毛毯或毛巾。有了这么多熟悉的气味环绕着，宠物可以安心地窝在上面玩耍休息。”

Bermudéz's 62-piece collection covers the basic areas of sleep, eat, play, travel and walk.
For sleeping, she designed the mini Klippan sofa, a treehouse-like hideaway, and cocooning inserts for Kallax shelving units.
A "friendly-smelling bed" is designed to be filled with owner's old clothes and blankets, while a bed frame can be used as a cosy nook or turned upside down as a kennel.
"The piece that I'm most proud of is a pet cushion: we encourage owners to fill it with their old clothes, blankets or towels," the designer explained. "The idea is that pets get a comfortable cushion with comfortable, familiar smells too."

到了晚饭时间，她用一个浅口碗，这样能够让宠物狗慢饮慢食。

她说：“猫一般都很善于控制自己的饮食，而一些品种的宠物狗却并非如此，有时它们会吃得过量。”

“这就是浅口碗成为Lurvig系列的原因，通过减少碗内表面的设计，从而有效防止宠物狗一次吃下过多的食物。”

For dinner time, she developed a shallow bowl that encourages dogs to eat slowly.
"Cats are generally good at regulating how much food they eat, however a number of dog breeds still retain the desire to overeat," she said.
"That's how the slow feed bowl became part of the Lurvig range. By using a design that breaks up a bowl's internal surface area, it prevents the dog from being able to inhale their food in one or two gulps."

该系列中的其他产品有反光项圈、旅行篮、游戏隧道和刷子。

设计师甚至为主人考虑了许多不便的状况，从而设计了多种多样的粪便袋和猫砂铲。

The rest of the collection includes reflective leads and collars, a travel basket, a play tunnel and a brush.
The designer even considered the less-than-savoury moments of pet ownership – creating a colourful range of poo bags and a litter tray shovel.
