The breeder's word

The Solar cat bed in solid wood is a jewel of which the cat is the crown piece. It can sit in it while being protected from the outside world: it is in his own universe.

Valérie Mounier — Breeder

The designer's word

Solar cat bed in solid wood is a contemporary sculpture that enhances the contemporary interior. The wooden sphere is the epicenter of the celestial shape formed by the steel tubes.

Sacha Lakic — Designer

Solar cat bed in solid wood

Handcrafted in France and Italy with 100% European vegan materials.

Description

The Solar cat bed in solid wood is the allegory of the celestial universe that inspires the entire collection. Solar cat bed in solid wood imitates the curve of the sun. By placing the solid ash wood sphere in the center of the chromed steel tubes made in Italy, the object becomes a real jewelry case for the cat.

Each sphere is unique. It is handmade by a woodturner in a French village in the Massif de la Chartreuse, located in the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region. This know-how is rare: only a few craftsmen in France master the art of making a wooden sphere by hand. The PEFC* guaranteed solid ash wood comes from protected French forests in the same region. This wood species has a pronounced grain that gives it a contemporary look.

The velvet that covers the bedding is made from recycled bottles in Italy. It is a soft, cat-friendly material that the cat can lie on comfortably. The fabric is easy to clean and very durable.

The velvet cushion is handmade by seamstresses in Italy. The velvet used comes from recycled bottles. It is a soft material appreciated by the cat. It is resistant and easy to maintain.

All materials were inspired by the elements that attract cats in nature. The solid wood of the sphere reminds the cat of the feeling it gets when it nests in a tree.

Each sphere is handcrafted. For this reason, the wood grooves are different on each creation of the solid wood collection.

Sacha Lakic, a renowned designer, is behind the design of Bogarel cat furniture.

The Planetarium collection provides cat accessories that meet animal needs and improve the house's interior.

Our range of furniture for cats is made in France and Italy by craftsmen from eco-responsible and European materials. Bogarel is the result of the collaboration between the professional breeder of British Shorthair, Valérie Mounier, and the famous French designer Sacha Lakic. Each piece, such as cat trees, cozy beds and scratching posts, is designed to meet the needs of cats while satisfying the expectations of owners.

Luxury cat trees, designer beds and scratching posts look heavenly thanks to Sacha Lakic's design and lightweight, forged-in-Italy steel frame. They are minimalist and modern, offering a feeling of floating in space that adds magic to any interior.

Bogarel cat furniture is made from natural materials, such as wicker and wood, to provide your cat with an experience close to their natural surroundings, while stimulating their senses. Cat trees allow cats to sleep, scratch, hide and gain height while being out of sight. The chromed steel tubes offer an overhang to your cats who appreciate observing their environment, while feeling safe.

The designer and the breeder have taken care to choose non-toxic materials and appropriate dimensions to ensure the safety of your cat. Bogarel creations have been tested by Clos d'Eugénie cats to ensure their resistance, durability and functionality.

In the interest of environmental responsibility, stocks are limited and we produce each cat tree, bed and scratching post to order, which can take 5 to 10 weeks before delivery.

Sacha Lakic, co-founder of Bogarel

Sacha Lakic has been imagining contemporary furniture designs for over 20 years. Many of his creations are now must-haves, such as the Bubble Sofa by Roche Bobois or the Gourmet sideboard at the Fauchon hotel.

He is the author of numerous designs, including some for the Hôtel Fauchon Paris (contemporary furniture), Stay Concrete (urban furniture), OWI (object design) and Voxan (motorcycles), for example.

His approach is articulated around his passion for modern technologies, movement and speed. We find this attraction for mobility and aerodynamics in the Bogarel line of designer furniture for cats, whose shapes are of aerial fluidity.

How to maintain the Solar cat bed in solid wood?

Maintaining the varnished solid ash wood sphere

Before any action, remember to remove dust with a microfiber cloth. Do not use a vacuum cleaner to dust as it could scratch the lacquer.

CAUTION: Varnished solid ash wood is sensitive to stains caused by colored liquids (coffee, tea, wine), oils and greases (food), candles, wax or prolonged humidity (flowerpot).

For regular cleaning, we recommend using a soft damp cloth or sponge and dry with a soft dry cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use the abrasive side of the sponge or any other object that may be abrasive. Do not use solvents or alcohol to clean. Do not scrub and avoid making circles. It is advised to follow the direction of the wood.

To restore the shine of the wooden sphere, we recommend soaking a cotton cloth with black tea mixed with hot water. Let the water cool, apply and let dry.

To remove stains, we recommend using a sponge with Marseille soap mixed with warm water. Then rinse with a soft damp cloth and dry with a soft dry cloth.

To remove scratches, we recommend using a nut (the fruit in the shell) by removing the shell and rubbing the fruit on the scratch with light pressure.


Maintaining chrome steel tubes

For regular cleaning, we recommend soaking a cotton cloth with Marseille soap mixed with lukewarm water. Rinse with a soft damp cloth.

To restore the shine, we recommend soaking a cotton cloth with table oil. Rinse with a soft damp cloth.


Maintaining the velvet bedding and the velvet cushion

In order to remove embedded hair and dust from the velvet, we recommend using a clothes roller.

For regular cleaning of the bedding, we recommend soaking a cotton cloth with liquid Marseille soap mixed with warm water. Rinse with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

CAUTION: Do not rub too vigorously and do not wring out the velvet as this may distort it.

For regular cleaning of the cushion, we recommend that you put it in the washing machine following these instructions: delicate mode, maximum temperature: 30°, do not put in the dryer, bleach is not allowed.

CAUTION: Once out of the washing machine, please do not wring it out. We advise you to dry it flat to preserve it from distorting.

To remove grease stains from velvet, we advise you to spray degreaser on the stain after having absorbed the excess substance with an absorbent paper towel. Wait 1 minute and rub. Finally, rub the area with a cloth soaked in a mixture of water and mild soap to remove any remaining degreaser.

To remove coffee, ketchup, biros or other stains from velvet, we recommend rubbing firmly in a circular motion with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and Marseille soap after having absorbed the excess substance with an absorbent paper towel.

Is the scratching post resistant?

The scratching post is made from quality natural hemp rope. It is particularly resistant.
