hoc̈ exists to gently become part of the bond between people and their pets—quietly deepening that connection, making it all the more irreplaceable. Our name holds two layers of meaning: Hokori, our beloved dog and brand icon, and the Latin phrase "Hoc est corpus meum" (This is my body). It reflects a simple belief—that life with animals is not just shared time or space, but a shared existence. A closeness where we lean into one another, like parts of the same body. Our design slip softly into daily life—small extensions of care, of presence, of togetherness. For pets, and for the people who care for them, we hope our designs turn daily rituals into moments of gentle joy, making the ordinary quietly luminous. At hoc̈, we imagine this: a pet resting in ease, a person smiling softly beside them. Two lives, quietly leaning into one another. That is the world we wish to accompany—with designs that stay close, gently holding the time shared between two species.
