At Modkat, designers are on a mission to make the litter box experience more enjoyable for cats and their human parents alike. In collaboration with Modkat, students designed a product that fits within the companies values and procedures while considering the RIT Vignelli ‘Design is One’ ethos.

Winner of the Editor’s Choice Award for Best Accessory at their debut showing at the 2009 International Contemporary Furniture Fair and recipient of the Red Dot Design Award in 2010 and 2014, Modkat has designed a thoughtful, elegant and functional product that consistently incorporates user feedback and sustainability.
