FOREST collection
The FOREST collection is the woodland side of PRASKA: one line of fabrics and a whole family of wall trees named after species - OAK, BIRCH, MAPLE, WILLOW, HAZEL, POPLAR ARTE and PLANE TREE ARTE. Alongside them sit LEAF beds, caves, blankets and playgrounds in the same fabric, so the route on the wall and the place to sleep stay in one key.

What FOREST means in a product name
FOREST works in two ways on this page. First, it is a fabric name: the piece of furniture is called ARENA, CAT CAB or HIDE'IN GOODY, and FOREST tells you what it is dressed in. ARENA makes it plain - the bare plywood ARENA cat playground, where you pick the plywood color separately, sits here next to FOREST cover for ARENA, the textile skin in this palette.
Second, FOREST is an umbrella over furniture that carries its own species names and never uses the word FOREST. Those pieces take up most of the page, and they are usually where the choice begins.
Wall trees named after species
OAK TREE, BIRCH TREE, MAPLE TREE, WILLOW TREE and HAZEL TREE are large wall structures, each with a different branch drawing. OAK is the most extensive: 79 in (200 cm) high, 96 in (245 cm) wide and 21 in (53 cm) deep, with platforms of 29.5 × 19.7 in (75 × 50 cm), 19.7 × 19.7 in (50 × 50 cm), 19.7 × 13.8 in (50 × 35 cm) and 13.8 × 13.8 in (35 × 35 cm), a rope bridge, a sisal scratching post and a hammock of 47 × 15 in (119 × 38 cm). Every platform holds up to 110 lbs (50 kg), so the structure is built with Maine Coons, Ragdolls and other large breeds in mind.
MAPLE TREE comes with a 19.7 × 13.8 in (50 × 35 cm) nest, and WILLOW TREE and WILLOW TREE CAT with a 29.5 × 13.8 in (75 × 35 cm) nest. POPLAR TREE ARTE and PLANE TREE ARTE are two models from the ARTE line, with a more graphic branch drawing. All of them are made from hardwood plywood, sanded by hand and lacquered three times, with no visible screws. The species names are also separate categories one level down on the site, so if you already know which tree interests you, you can go straight to its own page.
The FOREST fabric: beds, caves and playgrounds
CAT CAB FOREST is a stable cave, HIDE'IN GOODY FOREST and the FOREST bed are two nests of different depth, and PATCHWORK FOREST is the nest sewn in patchwork. FOREST XXL is a large mat, and the FOREST blanket measures 19.7 × 23.6 in (50 × 60 cm) with 3D appliqué.
FOREST sensory mat and ARENA FOREST turn the modular ARENA into a playground, and FOREST cover for ARENA turns it into a cave: the cover stands 21 in (53 cm) tall, has an entrance of 9.4 × 9.4 in (24 × 24 cm) and two tails on top that serve as both a handle and a toy. You choose the fabric for beds, covers and mats from one of four ranges: PATTERN, DOT, LINCOLN or RAFA, and the PATTERN range includes the LEAVES and LEAVES LATTE designs.
LEAF and the hanging toys
The LEAF bed is a leaf-shaped mat in three sizes, 29.5 × 21.7 in (75 × 55 cm), 39.4 × 25.2 in (100 × 64 cm) and 50 × 34.6 in (127 × 88 cm), about 2.4 in (6 cm) thick, with a silicone-fibre filling. HEART LEAF is the same idea with a different outline, and LEAF decorative cushion brings the motif indoors as a cushion. The largest size also works as a rug beside a bed or in a child's room.
The hanging toys follow the same motif. Acorn, Maple Fruit, Hazelnut, Willow Flower, Plane Tree Flower and Bird clip onto platforms and branches, while OAK LEAF, MAPLE LEAF and CLASSIC LEAF are flat leaf toys. Two spiders stand apart, Spider Harry and SPIDER DING DONG, along with the SPRIG tug toy.
How FOREST connects with the other lines
FOREST is one line within the PRASKA themed collections. The lighter, flowering answer to the same models is the GARDEN collection, and the warmer orchard tones sit in the ORCHARD collection. ARENA, CAT CAB and HIDE'IN GOODY recur in each of these lines, so you choose a collection by its fabric rather than starting again from the furniture.
Is FOREST the name of a piece of furniture or the name of a fabric?
Of a fabric, and of the whole line. The furniture keeps its own name - ARENA, CAT CAB, OAK TREE - and FOREST tells you what it is dressed in. That is why the bare plywood ARENA and a separate FOREST cover for it both sit on this page.
Which wall tree suits a large cat?
OAK TREE has the largest platforms, 29.5 × 19.7 in (75 × 50 cm) and 19.7 × 19.7 in (50 × 50 cm), and each of them holds up to 110 lbs (50 kg), so it is the model drawn up with Maine Coons and Ragdolls in mind. On any tree, though, check the depth of the platforms first, because that decides whether a large cat can settle comfortably.
Which wall trees include a nest?
MAPLE TREE is supplied with a 19.7 × 13.8 in (50 × 35 cm) nest, and WILLOW TREE and WILLOW TREE CAT with a 29.5 × 13.8 in (75 × 35 cm) nest. On the other models you choose nests and hammocks separately.
How do I look after pieces from this collection?
Beds, covers and blankets go in the washing machine at up to 86 °F (30 °C), spun at up to 800 rpm, with no bleach and no fabric softener. Keep them out of a tumble dryer and do not iron them. The plywood structure is washed down with warm water and wiped dry.
