The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Somewhere between the afternoon light and the top shelf, your cat has claimed the highest point in the room as their own. The Alto gives them exactly that: a wall-mounted route upward, a sheltered nest to curl into, and a scratching panel to work through before settling in for the evening.
The result sits on your wall the way a considered piece of furniture would: intentional, calm, and entirely at home next to a bookshelf or beside a window.Because the system is fully modular, you can begin with a single structure and expand over time, adding a nest, a house, a larger shelf, or an extension set as your cat grows bolder or your household grows. Each component mounts securely to the wall, keeping floor space clear and giving indoor cats the vertical territory their instincts ask for. Popular colourways sell out between restocks, so if the configuration suits your space, it is worth securing it now.
Why we chose this
The Alto earns its place because it treats cat furniture as something a home should actually want: a wall-mounted oak system designed with the same rigour you would expect from a piece you chose for yourself.

The Alto's structure is solid oak; the modules that fix to it, the shelves, nest and house, are oak-veneered, in a natural finish. Scratch panels are made from polyamide in beige, offering a satisfying surface that encourages natural scratching behaviour without damaging the wood. Cushions are available in two woven fabric covers: Hemp colourway, a natural woven-look finish, or anthracite, a dark charcoal weave that holds its colour well over time. All components are finished to a standard intended to sit alongside your own furniture without compromise.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Wipe the oak frame and shelves with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove dust and hair. Avoid prolonged moisture on the wood surface. Cushion covers in hemp and anthracite fabric can be removed and hand-washed in cool water, then left to air dry flat before refitting. The felt scratch panels will show natural wear over time as they are used, which is normal and indicates the panel is working as intended. Replace individual components as needed rather than the whole system.
