This pet harness is designed for cats allowing them to go on walks outdoors. It uses a continuous strip of nylon webbing, two soft pads, two fasteners and a triangle ring. It requires almost no labor-intensive sewing because a small fixture was designed to form and hold the webbing at various angles to facilitate construction. The resulting harness is very light weight: 35g. This is appropriate for cats, who need the harness to be as light as possible. The harness fastening system uses a slide buckle for instant release instead of the more common center release buckle.

Shih-Chang Hsiao has always been highly interested in design since a young age. Not long after graduating from school, he began working as a freelancer on product design projects. Currently, he is a senior industrial designer. Most of his design projects focus on the aesthetics of electronics devices. After many years of experience in practical design projects, Hsiao believes his greatest strength in industrial design is to find solutions for the conflict between design and engineering. In the process, he realized that his mission as an industrial designer is to imbue products with character and vitality, so that their functions can be fully actualized and the connection between users and products can be improved. Because of this concept, in 2006 he received the G-Mark Product Design from Japan and in 2007 he received the IF Product Design Award from Germany. In 2016, he took the opportunity to build a cardboard cat house for his cat, because it allowed him to enter the pet accessory business. After spending one year on research and development, he started to produce the cat houses from his designs. His idea is to make products utilizing recycled or eco-friendly materials as much as possible. A series of DIY cat furniture products finally debuted at the Taipei Pet EXPO under the brand name “Hulumao.” In the same year, two pet products he designed received the A’Design Award from Italy.

Hulumao was founded in 2017 by two designers who were a couple. At first, they were seeking a fun and eco-friendly cat house where their cat could play and rest. However, they were unable to find a product that met their expectations. Therefore, the couple began to design and make their own products. They initially found inspiration in simple handmade corrugated boxes. After many adjustments and modifications, the first generation of cat houses was launched. At the time, there were no similar products, so they decided to bring their pet-focused products to the market.
