Cesto Cat Basket
A soft felt bowl that works as a bed one minute and tidy storage the next.
Final/Total cost shown at checkout
Cesto keeps things simple. It is a molded felt basket with a low, rounded wall that a cat can flop into or curl up against, and the muted colors let it sit in the open without shouting for attention. Hans Thyge and Co designed it to earn its keep even on the days your cat ignores it, since it doubles as a catch-all for toys, a folded blanket, or a stack of magazines.
The felt is pressed mostly from recycled PET bottles, so there is a sustainability story under the good looks. It holds its shape well and has a texture that is soft to the touch without going floppy.
A German design house
MiaCara is a family run German label from Herzogenaurach, started by Sebastian and Barbara Zweig. It began with their Labrador, Cara, who turned her nose up at a cheap foam cushion, and grew into a full design house that launched its cat line in 2015. The credo is form follows function, innovate rather than imitate, so every piece is drawn to work first and then to sit quietly in a room.
Made in Europe, made to last
Most of the range is manufactured in Germany and Europe from hand picked suppliers, under fair conditions and short transport routes. MiaCara leans on recycled materials wherever it can: felt spun from recycled PET bottles, recycled aluminium, recycled foam, and fabric made from upcycled ocean plastic through the Seaqual initiative. Packaging is FSC certified or recycled, and the workshop has run on certified green electricity since 2021.
Award winning design
MiaCara's work has been recognised with design awards, among them a German Design Award and a Red Dot, and each piece is credited to the studio or designer behind it.
Cesto earns its keep on the days the cat ignores it, doubling as the basket that swallows the toys. That refusal to be a single-use object is exactly what we look for.
