Cove + Shelter | 2020

The Cove is a simple, beautifully reimagined take on a classic litter box, featuring an integrated scoop, dustpan and hand brush. It’s made of a thick, matte plastic that feels sturdy, lasts for years, and can be wiped clean. The toxin-free plastic includes recycled material, transforming waste back into a useful object. A silicone base grips the floor to keep the litter box from sliding during use or cleaning, and a hidden handle allows the box to be lifted and moved with ease.

Considerable thought was put into the size and shape of Cove. Vertical walls help to keep litter contained and provide ample space for cats. The 8” height is optimal for minimizing mess while ensuring visibility for cats, who feel vulnerable to predators while using a litter box. The Shelter is a semi-opaque 8” partition that can be added to the Cove, to meet the needs of cats who kick or fling litter without compromising sightlines or style. The open top prevents trapped odors, which are unpleasant for both cats and humans. Cleaning and tidying the litter box area is made simple through the inclusion of complementary tools that can be stored in an integrated insert. The scoop features narrow, angled slots that sift litter quickly and neatly, and a curved shape that fits perfectly in the box itself, to allow easy cleaning of every corner. An accompanying hand brush and dustpan allow owners to sweep up and redeposit stray litter as needed.

The form and function of the box combine to produce a truly beautiful object, in a sleek off-white shade that blends seamlessly into modern home decor. Cleaning the litter box will never be a pleasant chore, but the Cove will help owners make the best of it.
