Quiet progress from the MINI NIUNIU studio

What We’re Working On

From Our Studio

We don’t build everything at once.
Some pieces take time—testing, refining, and quiet adjustment.
This page shares what’s taking shape in our studio, step by step.

Currently In Progress & NEWS

    • Preparing the launch of our Gothic-style pet bowl collection
    • Trial production underway for our pet rug series
    • Ongoing improvements to production efficiency across made-to-order pieces

    • Gothic collection moving toward launch

    Scheduled to release before the New Year.This collection will be available as ready-to-ship pieces, so we’re allowing extra time to prepare inventory carefully.We appreciate your patience — and look forward to sharing it soon.

    • Exploring a new jelly-like finish.
      Soft, translucent, and quietly expressive —we’re currently testing this material in small trials, curious to see how it feels in real use.

Design-Led Pet Living

We’ve gradually realized that what we’re building goes beyond individual pet products. Our focus has shifted toward design-led pet living — where pet objects are considered part of the home, not separate accessories.

Rather than designing exclusively for function or decoration, we approach each piece with spatial awareness: proportion, material presence, and how it quietly lives within a shared environment.

The pet bowl happens to be where this exploration begins, but the thinking itself extends beyond a single object — toward a more integrated way of living with pets.
