Gino the Dog: Pet Products by Industrial Design Students

Gino the Dog Pet Products by Industrial Design Students
Industrial design students at California College of the Arts have created a new line of pet products for the Turkish design firm Gaia & Gino through a fall 2005 studio course sponsored by the firm.

Eleven of the student designs were selected for production.

Under the brand name Gino the Dog, the products-including dog bowls, beds and houses.

The course was taught by Steven Skov Holt, Susan Kralovec and program chair Yves B�har.

"We are thrilled to take student projects from conception to production" B�har commented.

"Gaia & Gino had the forethought to use a studio course as a laboratory for great design ideas, and I applaud their support.

I also look forward to continuing the relationship between their brand and CCA."

B�har, an award-winning industrial designer who is founder and principal of fuseproject, a San Francisco-based design studio, will act as design director for Gino the Dog as the brand develops additional products and design collaborations.
