OUR STORY
WOWBOW’s ‘Mija’ (Mee-Haa) line of unique pet furniture arrived
through a familiar scenario; where upon it’s creator searched high and
low for a particular product, only to be disappointed time and time again. UK
pet stores seemed overwhelmed with soft and squidgy bed products, covered in
tartans and paw prints. High end Knightsbridge department stores do a wonderful
selection of exquisite pet products, undeniably beautiful and if that is indeed
your taste and your budget, you’re set! As for Kim and Richard Bull, both
trained designers, they were looking for something that was not only functional
but would be an aesthetic asset to their home.
To this end a bed was eventually sourced and shipped from NYC via California,
however, it lacked structure and was soon looking less than timeless. So Kim
was determined to design a bed herself and in February of this year began researching
the foundations for what would become the ‘Mija’ range and, in turn,
set the mould for the matching ‘Dining Table’. Originally the plan
was to design and commission just the one bed for the one dog, but as time went
by the picture widened and the kernel for a brand emerged.
Several months and an equal number of prototypes later, the ‘Mija’
bed is in production, hand made, in the UK, from 10mm thick Perspex™,
with faux suede cushions and a wealth of innovations which will make living
with the beds a joyful experience for both dog and home owner.
