Pet Shell by Swetha Kariappa Imudiyanda

The project Pet Shell by Swetha Kariappa Imudiyanda, the winner of the Best Adaptable Product for Urban Living Award, isn’t just another typical pet crate you toss in the corner and forget about. No, it’s a next-level, noise-cancelling chill zone for your fur babies. When fireworks or thunderstorms kick off, dogs and cats lose it. Pet Shell is calming and soothing, and now your little buddy has its spa retreat.
This is loaded with serious nerdy features—high-density cork, bouncy block feet, genius air vents for airflow, and an optional white noise machine. Just in case your animal companion fancies the sound of distant ocean waves or whatever calms them down.
Absolute customization. It snaps together with modular panels, so you can make it work for your chunky tabby or your nervous chihuahua, and it’s light enough so you could move it without breaking a sweat. It’s not ugly either—looks like something out of an interior design magazine, instead of a sad wire cage you’d hide in the laundry room.
Swetha didn’t mess around with the details: Dogs get see-through doors so they can keep tabs on you, cats get tinted ones so they brood in the dark. And there’s even a fancy-pants sensor door situation, so your pet can escape the second a thunderclap hits, probably smarter than most of us.
And if you care about the planet, like we actually should—they’re using recycled cork and eco fabrics. No guilty conscience here.
Pet Shell isn’t just a kennel. It’s hitting the pause button for your pet’s stress. Emotion, style, and tree-hugging all wrapped into one smart little box. If you actually love your pet, this is the kind of upgrade that says, “Yeah, I get you, buddy.”
