ARTIST RICHARD ORLINSKI PARTNERS UP WITH HEAD TO CREATE AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION OF TENNIS AND PADEL RACKETS WITH EXCLUSIVE DESIGN

A sporting passion in the center of the collaboration

Known for his iconic sculptures and vibrant colorful works, Richard Orlinski is a padel passionate sports enthusiast. 

Since his childhood, the artist has harbored a deep love for physical effort and the competitive mindset. 

Today, as an amateur padel player, this passion fully expresses itself, and it was only natural that his partnership with HEAD came to fruition.

In this unprecedented fusion of art and sport, Richard Orlinski had the opportunity to redefine the aesthetics of racquets, playing with reflections and textures, adorned with graffiti directly drawn from the artist’s street art-inspired bestiary.

"To me, sport and art share the same quest for self-transcendence and creativity. With HEAD, I wanted to create racquets that combine performance, design, and emotion, inspiring players to push their limits”

Together, HEAD and Richard Orlinski first launched two models of tennis racquets, designed to elevate the playing experience for intermediate and advanced players.

"We worked on a collection of racquets as pairs: one pair for tennis and one for padel in black and green, and a second version of the pair in orange and yellow."
