The choice of cork for our luxury cat trees

To guarantee cat trees made from natural wood, Bogarel has chosen the protected Portuguese cork industry:

For its designer cat trees, Bogarel has chosen cork from the cork oak forest named La Dehesa in Portugal. This cork is guaranteed FSC ( Forest Stewardship Council). This international organisation ensures that forests are managed according to ecological and social criteria. The cork is taken from the tree, but the tree regenerates itself throughout its 170-year life! This means that the trees can absorb CO2 throughout their existence.

Cork guarantees strong and light modern cat trees:

Bogarel uses cork for its wooden cat trees which is a fireproof, durable and resistant material that is neither too soft nor too stiff. It is comfortable and appreciated by animals. Naturally antistatic, it reduces the presence of dust and hair on the furniture.

All our cat trees and modern cat beds have a chrome-plated steel structure

A design and eco-responsible structure for our designer cat trees and cat beds :

For its collection of modern cat furniture, Bogarel has chosen recyclable chrome steel, manufactured in a small industry in Italy. This steel is infinitely recyclable as well as all the waste and offcuts linked to its production. It does not deteriorate over time and does not release any polluting components.

The benefits of chrome steel for the structure of a luxury cat furniture:

It is stainless, resistant to corrosion and heavy use and does not scratch. It is also hygienic and easy to clean, making it suitable for pet products.

The visual lightness of our modern cat trees is made possible by the steel structure:

A must-have material in the Planetarium collection, our luxurious cat trees and designer cat beds are brilliant, elegant and refined. It embodies the cosmic spirit of the collection.

The choice of solid ash wood for our cat trees and cat beds :

The solid wood collection is made up of designer cat trees and modern cat beds. Ash is known for its hardness and durability. Its grain is unique and elegant. It is very popular for its contemporary look. It comes from protected forests located in the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region (France). This wood is guaranteed by PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) which certifies the sustainable and eco-responsible management of the forest.

Each wooden cat tree and cat bed is unique:

Each cat treewooden cat bed is made with talent and passion by our woodturner, Emmanuel Landais, in his workshop located in Isère. He has a precious and rare know-how, inherited from his family, and is one of the last craftsmen to master this art. Each sphere and each half-sphere tells the unique story of the wood from which it is shaped by hand on the wood lathe.

White wicker cat trees and cat beds made by basket makers in France

The spheres of our white wicker cat trees and cat beds are hand-woven by French craftsmen

The choice of wicker for our cat trees and cat beds:

The wicker spheres of our luxury cat furniture are made of wicker strands hand-picked in winter from soft willow trees. To obtain white-coloured wicker, the freshly harvested wicker strands must be peeled by hand. Without this step, the raw wicker retains its brown colour. Wicker is inherently durable, strong and healthy. It is also biodegradable.

To make the wicker spheres of our cat furniture, we work with basket makers:

For its handmade cat trees and cat beds, Bogarel turned to a committee of basket makers located in Haute-Marne who grow and harvest the wicker themselves. They have a know-how of weaving which is passed on from generation to generation. They have mastered up to 16 different braiding techniques.

They have a long tradition of weaving.

The cushions and beds of our cat furniture are made of recycled velvet

Cat beds and cushions that are responsibly sourced:

For luxurious cat furniture, it is still very difficult to find fabrics made with recycling in mind. After a very long search, our choice came down to a workshop that makes velvet fabrics from recycled bottles. They are cleaned and then transformed into granules and weaving fibres in Italy.

The ideal material for a cat cushion and bedding:

Velvet is a thick, durable fabric that is perfect for our modern cat beds and cushions. It is soft to the touch and gives your cat a sense of pleasure. It is easy to care for and can be gently machine washed for the cushions and sponged for the beds.

Design cat furniture from a unique meeting

Cat trees created by designer Sacha Lakic and breeder Valérie Mounier

The Bogarel line of designer cat furniture is the result of an exceptional meeting between two experts: the designer Sacha Lakic and the professional breeder of the Clos d'Eugénie cattery, Valérie Mounier.

They have combined their know-how to offer top-of-the-range furniture that will enhance your home, while meeting the needs of your pet.

Bogarel's furniture is made with an uncompromising approach, combining the beauty of the object and the well-being of the animal. The creations are made by French and Italian craftsmen and all materials are European and eco-responsible.

Design furniture that meets the needs of cats thanks to Valérie Mounier, professional breeder

Valérie Mounier's expertise in animal well-being

The adventure started in 2010 when Valerie went to a cat show near Paris where she fell in love with British Shorthair cats. She then dreamed of becoming a professional breeder. After training and extensive research, she opened a human-sized cattery in the Plaine de Versailles: Le Clos d'Eugénie.

Valérie Mounier used many different cat furniture and accessories, but none of them fully met her expectations. The adoptive families also testified to their difficulties in finding furniture that combined aesthetics and the cat's well-being.

Her collaboration with designer Sacha Lakic began with the aim of overcoming this shortcoming.

For Sacha Lakic, the cat is an elegant and charismatic animal. Bogarel's creations reflect this captivating aura

The designer has always deplored the lack of choice in the animal furniture segment. Bogarel is a bold response that challenges the codes of cat furniture. The choice of a cat tree no longer depends solely on the animal's well-being, but also on its design and integration into the interior.

Sacha Lakic puts his culture of pure furniture at the service of cat/dog owners with an innovative proposal where the beauty and function of the object become one.
