The company I work for, Altair Thinklabs (http://altairthinklabs.com), plays in the same space as Ideo + Frog.
Really these companies are focused on 'human-centered design', which has a stronger Industrial Design component than say your typical branding/digital agency.
Ideo has pretty much written the book (and are constantly re-writing) terms of multi-disciplinary approach to human-centered design.
But other firms/HCD companies worthy of note:

http://www.rksdesign.com/
http://www.fuseproject.com/ (Yves Behar)
http://www.artefactgroup.com/
http://www.teague.com/Those are just a few of the bigger companies. Pininfarina is more of a pure ID company, with a deeper history of european automotive and transportation design. Their ID group only grew out of their Auto+trans offerings as a way to grow their capability offering to their customer base.
