Project Background
Frustrated with the available options on the market, our clients came to us to co-create a radically considered sustainable dog leash that addresses ergonomics, aesthetics and sustainability.
The Process
De-mystifying the factors that made existing solutions fails such as function driven bulky form and uncomfortable grips, we experimented with form on 3D printed prototypes through a vigorous user testing process, to design a unique ergonomic handle. Co-creation with DEFY for sustainable manufacture.
The Results
Dog leash handle with a unique aesthetic and ergonomic form; featuring a spacious centre with curved edges and finger indents, for a comfortable secure grip. Sustainably manufactured from 100% local circular plastic, locally at DEFY.
Sales through client's website and DEFY designs website
P&T reduced part cost and complexity by 80%
Available for purchase at pet shops and environmental sustainable stores
