Based in NYC, Head & Hand represents an international collective of brands in the design, art, real estate, and lifestyle spaces. Over the past year, the agency achieved notable success through strategic campaigns and influential partnerships. The Roche Bobois x Joana Vasconcelos collaboration exemplifies this, with significant press and industry attention boosting the partnership's impact. The agency supported several key brands at Milan Design Week, including Lasvit, which won a Fuorisalone Award. Also notable this year: for Found Collectibles, the agency built connections and visibility through influencers and platforms such as 1stdibs and InCollect, and forged partnerships with Nicolas Auvray Gallery and Carini Carpets. Head & Hand recently underwent a brand refresh, launching a new website and logo to reflect its evolved identity and introduce new services including audience development, brand building, and social media audit. Principal & Founder Katharina Plath's appointment to the DIFFA Board of Trustees and The Winter Show Advisory Council underscores her commitment to impactful charity-based initiatives, further aligning the agency with meaningful community efforts.
