Business and co-branding for high design solutions
United Pets renews its presence at Bologna Fair as a point of contact for further business developments in the world of accessories
Cristina Rivolta, co-founder of United Pets, explained: ‘On the occasion of Zoomark International we will present a totally sustainable project: the innovative Herby, a design catnip container made by Guzzini with bio-plastics. In addition to this beautiful product we will also have the new Complete Me 3 leash line and the original colours of the iconic collection designed by Stefano Giovannoni, the nice Crick&Crock buckets for kibbles. As every year, we are pleased to be there because for us the fair is always a moment of dialogue with customers and industry professionals, thanks to which it is possible to enter foreign markets and explore business and co-branding possibilities. In fact, for 2023 we are working with a very famous designer for a product never seen before on the market’. Before founding United Pet brand, Cristina Rivolta dealt with communication in the field of furnishing accessories and her husband Costantino Psilogenis worked in the accounting and finance sector. It was in 1999, thanks to their love for Chico, a Dalmatian dog, that the two decided to start this adventure. This way, what is now a brand of pet accessories was born. It is distributed all over the world, in constant collaboration with numerous designers and with large companies, in the pet world and beyond. The attention to functionality as well as aesthetics of the products is undoubted. The company’s catalogue presents a rich offer of design objects with lively shapes and cheerful colours, subdividing itself into macro areas dedicated to all moments in the life of the pets.
