Parete Step Short
A short oak springboard that turns bare wall into a launch point.

The short step is the springboard in the Parete system. Studio Nooi shaped it as a compact oak-veneer platform that mounts to the wall as a jumping-off point or a small elevated post for a cat to pause and watch from. It transforms an unused stretch of wall into part of a climbing route.
Crafted from molded plywood with a refined oak veneer, it looks like a considered wall fixture rather than pet gear. Combine it with the long step and the scratching panel to build a full Parete wall.
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.
Parete is the lighter answer to a climbing wall, and the short step is its opening move, a launch point on bare plaster with none of a full tower's commitment.
