Rothos’s design team developed Biala Cat Toilet, an eco-friendly cat toilet to address common issues faced by cat parents.
The project has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
First of all, Biala Cat Toilet’s ergonomic handle enables effortless one-hand lifting of the hood. Once the hood is removed, easy access to the scoop allows for convenient cleaning.
However, Biala has two crucial and resourceful design features for the cat’s comfort in regarding odor control.
Firstly, the soft closing door is equipped with a magnet, which minimizes the time the door stays open and for potential odor to spread. Secondly, a built-in active odor filter assures to keep general scents at a minimum.
One of the biggest design positives that Rotho’s design team focused their efforts on is Biala’s environmentally friendly nature. This cat toilet uses 100% recycled plastic and is at the end of its lifecycle fully recyclable.
