Design Story: How the CozeCat Side Table Was Developed

by Sebastian Frank on Oct 26, 2026
CozeCat Side Table design story — walnut finish beside a sofa

The CozeCat Side Table started from a sofa-corner problem: cats scratch there, people still need an end table. Here is the design path from brief to shipping. Start with the CozeCat Side Table when the sofa corner is the problem.

CozeCat Side Table design story — walnut finish beside a sofa

What problem were we solving?

Cats scratch sofa corners. Owners buy temporary shields that look temporary. We wanted one piece that protects the arm, satisfies the scratch, and still holds a lamp. That piece became the CozeCat Side Table.

Which constraints shaped the design?

  • Flush fit at left or right arm (and Pair for both).
  • Three heights so arm height is not a gamble.
  • Natural sisal cats accept, on a mat you can replace.
  • Wood finishes (Walnut / Maple) that sit next to adult furniture.
  • 50 lb top load for everyday human use.

Why replaceable sisal matters

Scratching surfaces wear. Throwing away a whole table is wasteful. Velcro-backed mats at $43.86 keep the frame in the room for years.
