Modern (very rich) Dog
I don’t know whether to love or hate Philipp Plein. Part of me thinks his designs are over the top and excessively lavish to the point of ridiculousness. The other part of me agrees and thinks that’s great. One thing is for certain, he certainly doesn’t skimp on the use of ostrich and crocodile leather. I found this line while looking for modern dog furniture. Philipp Plein does a very Le Corbusier inspired designer dog bed that begs the question: Does Puggy NEED that much design?
With stainless steel frames (narcissistically engraved with the name Philipp Plein, naturally) and, in this case, faux fur removeable covers, these dog beds are not the kinds of things you shove behind closed doors when guests arrive. These are the kinds of pieces you invite guests over to behold.
More on Philipp Plein soon.
