Perla Woven Retreat

The Perla Woven Retreat is a handwoven cat cave designed by Belgian designer Mathias De Ferm for MiaCara. The teardrop silhouette narrows at the top, creating the enclosed geometry that cats instinctively seek when resting.
Two material options define the character. The anthracite version uses polypropylene rope woven over a rigid frame. This synthetic construction resists UV fading and bacteria, making it suitable for covered outdoor spaces or sunny rooms. The natural version is woven from rattan, lighter in both weight and visual presence.
The weave is open enough to allow airflow and a partial view outward. Cats can observe their surroundings while feeling sheltered. The circular entry measures approximately 18cm in diameter, sized for most domestic cats though larger breeds may find it snug.
Inside, a removable cushion uses high-resilience polyurethane foam with an open-cell structure. The foam is hypoallergenic and maintains its shape over time. The outer cover is Trevira CS polyester, a technical fabric developed in Germany that cleans easily and withstands repeated washing at 60°C. The inner cushion is also machine washable.
MiaCara manufactures primarily in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The company has focused exclusively on design-forward pet furniture since 2011. The Perla reflects their approach: functional requirements addressed through considered materials rather than decoration.
