Are you Team Dog or Team Cat?

A question that often divides people into two passionate camps.

With our porcelain figures, we bring the loyal presence of dogs and the graceful elegance of cats into your home. Whether as a single piece or in a harmonious duo, our porcelain figures are a timeless addition to any contemporary interior. Andreas Kowalewski modelled them on the typical characteristics of our beloved dogs and cats. The abstract yet distinctive design gives each figure a lively and iconic presence. Our dogs and cats are made in Steinwiesen, Upper Franconia, Germany – cast in molds and partly finished by hand – and come in various glazes, so you can choose the one that best suits your personal style and home decor. This cat wears White, a clear, bright white with a glossy glaze: next to black and strong primary colors it adds a light, graphic accent. Find more ideas in our journal article Bauhaus Style.

These porcelain figures are more than just decoration – they express your love for the four-legged friends who enrich our lives. They are also perfect as gifts for dog and cat lovers or collectors, and there is a matching “Dog” in White. Find the figure that suits you best.

A cat figurine that doesn't look kitschy: “Cat” in White by caussa is an abstract porcelain figure that Andreas Kowalewski reduced to a few clear lines – instantly recognizable as a cat, but more design object than ornament. At 17.6 cm tall it fits on any shelf, and in White it makes a lasting gift for cat owners.
“Cat” in White has a glossy glaze that reflects light and makes the form look crisp and fresh. The Matt White version has a matte surface and looks quieter and softer. Glossy white works well next to black and strong primary colors, matte white more with natural materials. More ideas in our journal article Bauhaus Style.
Porcelain is known as “white gold” for good reason. It is fired at higher temperatures than ordinary ceramics, is denser and harder and allows much sharper edges and contours. That is exactly what the reduced form of “Cat” needs: the clean lines could not be achieved as precisely in simple ceramics. Glazed porcelain also looks more refined.
Andreas Kowalewski runs his own industrial and furniture design studio in Munich. A trained carpenter, he studied industrial design at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and spent around ten years at Philips Design in Amsterdam and China, most recently as Creative Design Director. Today he designs for brands such as Carl Hansen & Son, Ligne Roset, Normann Copenhagen, Woud and Lamy; his work has received more than 30 design awards, including iF and Red Dot awards and a German Design Award in Gold. Since 2021 he has also been a visiting professor at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. He also designed “Dog” and the Olifant, all in the same reduced design language.
Yes. “Cat” is made in Steinwiesen, Upper Franconia – cast in molds and partly finished by hand. Upper Franconia is one of Germany's traditional porcelain regions.
Yes, if the form is reduced. “Cat” does without naturalistic details and looks more like a small sculpture. If you are looking for a splash of color, it also comes in glazes such as Flash Orange or Sun Yellow.
Give it some space: between two rows of books, on a stack of books lying flat or next to a plant. Light glazes stand out most against dark backgrounds, strong colors against light ones. Together with the “Dog” in White you get a duo that catches the eye even from a distance.
Yes, the “Dog” in White is available too – and in ten other glazes. For everyone who doesn't want to choose between Team Cat and Team Dog.
“Cat” is made of glazed porcelain and is easy to care for. Dust it with a soft cloth; if needed, wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild washing-up liquid. Glazed porcelain can in principle even go in the dishwasher, but for a decorative object we recommend gentle cleaning by hand.
