This interior designer decided to put his skills to use and create his own stylish cat tree, and thus his new line Papuk, meowed to life. Their tag line? Human-friendly cat furniture.
Vazken Kara Gozian could no longer endure the war in his homeland of Syria. So, in 2012, he left for Dubai to pursue his passion for interior design. “Since I was in high school, I was always curious about interior design and the potential to create intentional and mindful spaces that have the ability to evoke emotion,” he says. Little did he know, he’d never be able to return to his country. He was pondering his next move when his parents had to seek safety — and they picked the great north.
Then the pandemic hit and, like many, Gozian was laid off. And, like many, he then started spending large swathes of time shopping for his beloved pets, a pair of rescue cats named Grayson, a three-year-old grey boy, and Ella, a two-year-old tabby gal. First on the list: a stylish cat tree. But there was a snag: they were impossible to find. “Few options were available for cat furniture that considered both function and esthetics,” according to Gozian.
