There is no denying that dogs have become an integral part of our lives and we do not wish to part from our furry little friends. Often the dog and the owner live in close proximity to each other and share the same bed or sofa, with most furniture designed as multifunctional. British architectural firm Hopkins Architects is the latest to join the party. The firm has designed a multifunctional piece of furniture dubbed Hound Lounge that transforms the way you and your pooch co-exist in a living space.

Boasting elegant curves and fine detailing, the Hound Lounge offers a relaxing space to the user, while providing a cozy and comfortable room for the pooch. The lounge chair has been designed in a manner that provides a companionable arrangement for the dog and the owner. The Hound Lounge caters to aspects of providing privacy and comfort to our dogs with a generous living space.

“By combining the kennel and armchair both occupants are afforded the same level of comfort and luxury. The design features a zero waste monocoque plywood construction contributed to an affordable, lightweight easy-assembly kennel for the contemporary dog around town,” Hopkins Architects states.

We can also spot a small opening below the seating area which is a designated space for keeping shoes and slippers. A combo of kennel and armchair provides both dogs and their humans with an equal amount of much-needed comfort, luxury, and proximity.

The Hound Lounge chair was recently exhibited at the recently concluded Barkitecture 2023. The ergonomic chair was awarded a third position during the event and raised £1800 (US $2,300) for charity.
