If your cat were a dog, they would bark up this tree: the minimalistic and streamlined Boven is a tall but safe climbing shelf for cats that also has space for all your important items. Convenient and stylish.

The prototype of the climbing shelf has been designed and produced in Finland using high-quality natural materials.
Due to its modular and easy-to-update structure, the shelf also functions as a minimalist piece of furniture, with or without cats.
To ensure that all the homes in the world can become better places for both their feline and human inhabitants, Boven is looking for a partner to start production of the shelves.
The modular structure is made of oak veneered MDF and oak bars. It’s attached between the floor and the ceiling with two support bars. The sliding door cabinets can be opened on both sides of the shelf which allows for the shelf to be placed in the middle of a space. The functionalities for cats are separate so that the shelf can also be used as a regular piece of furniture.
