Imagine owning one of the most luxurious dog beds ever created, designed by none other than Rolls-Royce. This isn’t just any dog bed. It’s a flower-based leather travel bed, crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the luxury cars that the brand is known for.
This unique creation, known as Pet-All, is not available for purchase at your local pet store. It was designed as a one-of-a-kind piece for a charity event. Rolls-Royce’s design team was invited to participate in Bonhams’ annual Goodwoof Barkitecture Charity Sale. This event brings together renowned design teams to create exclusive dog homes, which are then auctioned to benefit dog rescue organizations.
Anders Warming, the Director of Design at Rolls-Royce, explains that Pet-All is a “pop-up design that can be beautifully folded for travel and opened up upon arrival.” The design draws inspiration from a folding flower. Each “petal” of the bed is crafted from natural grain Tan leather, and when unfolded, it reveals a soft lambswool cushion. This luxurious cocoon is designed to offer ultimate comfort for a small dog, with dimensions of approximately 60x60cm. The bed also features a leather-trimmed handle and a laser-engraved tag for personalization.
Would you ever consider such a lavish item for your furry friend? The Pet-All bed was sold for a remarkable £1,300 (USD ,653) at the charity auction. All proceeds from this sale went to Jai Dog Rescue, an organization dedicated to rescuing street dogs in Thailand.
This extravagant dog bed is a testament to the lengths to which some people will go to ensure their pets are treated like royalty. It also highlights the generosity and creativity of design teams willing to support charitable causes. While Pet-All might not be available to the general public, it stands as a symbol of the fusion between luxury design and heartfelt philanthropy.
Rolls-Royce’s venture into the world of pet accessories, even as a one-off creation, raises an interesting question: how much would you be willing to spend to give your pet a taste of the high life? In a world where some dog breeds already rank among the most expensive dog breeds in the world, the addition of such a luxurious accessory could certainly turn heads and spark conversations.
