Description

The quality of the Pina Zangaro line created by Tim Mullen is due largely to the product design and quality control of his company. By designing a book that allowed the viewer to see Tim’s initial doodles, sketches, and thoughts, we repositioned him as a product designer rather than a faceless company. While the summer catalogue resulted in a large number of orders of their products, it also unfortunately inspired several product knockoffs in retail stores.
