Founded in 1996 by Jacques Gagne, Gecko's direct approach to design has quickly become sought out by such reputable companies as Dell, Hewlett Packard, and Herman Miller. The product developers or geckos at Gecko work hand in hand with several of the top, cutting-edge industrial design firms including Fuseproject, frogdesign, and Newdeal Design.
