    Designer’s Note — Why We Love It

    Decorative yet practical, this piece brings art into everyday ritual. Each cat butler is vintage as of the mid 60’s / 70’s and hand-curated. Each piece is selected for its character, posture, and expression. No two are exactly alike.

    Cat butler sculptures were popularized by Diego Giacometti, whose bronze animal figures blurred the line between furniture, sculpture, and utility. His work often featured elongated animals performing human roles—holding trays, lamps, or tables—with a sense of wit and restraint. These vintage pieces draw inspiration from that tradition, celebrating the idea that functional objects can also be expressive, sculptural, even absurd and humorous.

Designer's Note

Come for the beauty, stay for the conversation. Each cat butler was sourced from the tradition of Diego Giacometti, whose bronze animal figures blurred the line between furniture, sculpture, and utility — elongated animals performing human roles, holding trays, lamps, and tables.

Each piece is a vintage original, hand-selected for its expression, condition, and character. No two are the same, and that's entirely the point.
