A dog crate that fits into the corner instead of taking up wall space.

White-and-walnut wooden construction, corner geometry that uses the diagonal most furniture ignores. Doubles as an end table — the surface holds a lamp, the books, the things the corner usually wants. Inside: a den-sized space for small-to-medium dogs.

Front door for the dog, sturdy enough not to look like crate furniture.

Guests notice a console table. The dog notices a corner of their own. The piece that makes a crate feel like part of the decor.
