TEAM WANG design has introduced 'FRIENDS,' a new lifestyle sub-series that extends its core THE ORIGINAL 1 collection into products created for companion animals. The launch marks a strategic expansion of the brand’s design approach, applying its established principles to objects intended for shared human and pet environments.
FRIENDS is conceived as a reflection of the steady role pets play in daily routines and living spaces. Building on THE ORIGINAL 1’s emphasis on restrained aesthetics, purposeful function, and emotional depth, the sub-series introduces a warmer, more domestic expression of the brand’s identity. The collection translates personal bonds into tangible design, positioning pet essentials as considered lifestyle elements rather than accessories.
The range consists of select pet-focused items, including apparel, feeding bowls, and sofas, each designed to align with contemporary interiors. Through FRIENDS, TEAM WANG design broadens its product universe while preserving a cohesive visual language, reinforcing the idea that thoughtful design can extend to every member of the household.
