Hosting Hounds by Tomski Design

Industrial designer Tom Bendkovski, of Tomski Design, created a series of furniture for his final project at H.I.T. (Holon Institute of Technology in Israel) in the industrial design program. The collection, called Hosting Hounds, incorporates the visual and behavioral features of our canine friends. The dog-inspired furniture consists of a chair, coffee table, and stool, each with their own subtle doggy traits.
