Floating Cat Wall Shelf - The Wavey Retreat
A wave shelf in wood. At 95cm, it is wide enough for two cats, with a removable cushion that runs the full length and a smooth curve that matches wood-panelled interiors. Handmade to order; the concealed fixings mean the shelf appears to hover when viewed from the front. Read more →

The Story
Watch your cat find their favourite spot on the wall and make it entirely their own. The Wavey Retreat gives them a place to survey the room from above, to stretch out in a patch of afternoon sun, or simply to disappear from the world for a while on their own terms.
Each shelf is handcrafted in Poland by Cat's Atelier from beech plywood, chosen for its fine, consistent grain and exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The gentle wave form is not decorative flourish for its own sake: it cradles a resting cat naturally, encouraging them to settle rather than perch.
Beech plywood is built to take real daily use, resisting the scratching, kneading, and general insistence that cats bring to every surface they claim. Because every piece is made to order, yours is cut and assembled specifically for your home, not pulled from a shelf in a warehouse. Allow a little extra time, and you will have something worth waiting for.
Why we chose this
Cat's Atelier brings genuine craft and considered design together in a piece that earns its place on the wall and in a cat's daily life.

Why cats need height
A wood wave shelf at 95cm is wide enough for two cats to share or for one cat to really stretch out. The raised outer edge forms a natural boundary, which many cats prefer when settling. Elevated resting places are a widely cited enrichment factor and vertical space is recognised by behaviourists as a factor in easing tension in multi-cat homes.
