Design hondenbench alternatief: CLOUD soft crate

With CLOUD, District 70 introduces an innovative take on the traditional dog crate. This concept, exclusively presented during Interzoo 2026 in Nuremberg, combines comfort, functionality, and design into a solution that perfectly fits within a modern interior.

An alternative to the traditional crate

Where metal crates are often perceived as functional but visually obtrusive, CLOUD offers a softer and more interior-friendly alternative. The design was developed with the idea that a crate should not only be practical but also be able to take a natural place in the home.

By using high-quality fabrics and refined finishing, CLOUD feels more like a piece of furniture than a standard crate. This aligns with the growing demand for pet products that harmoniously blend into the interior.

Comfort and peace for the dog

In addition to the visual aspect, much attention has been paid to the comfort of the dog. CLOUD creates a safe, quiet place where dogs can retreat, both during rest periods and during crate training.

The soft materials contribute to a pleasant and secure environment, thereby supporting the use of a crate in a more natural and friendly way.

Practical and flexible in use

Although design is central, CLOUD has also been designed with daily use in mind. The crate is lightweight and easy to fold, making it suitable for both home use and on the go. The removable cover is washable, making maintenance easy and ensuring the product can be used for a long time without compromising hygiene or appearance.

Responding to a new interior trend

CLOUD fits within a broader development in which pet owners are increasingly consciously choosing products that match their living style. The demand for interior-friendly solutions is growing, and with it, the need for alternatives to traditional products.

For retailers, this offers opportunities to distinguish themselves with a range that is not only functional but also aesthetically appealing.

A first look at Interzoo 2026

With CLOUD, District 70 further expands the SLEEP category with a stylish and innovative concept. During Interzoo 2026, CLOUD will be presented for the first time, and visitors will have the opportunity to view the crate up close and experience its quality for themselves.
