Most cultural value is misread.
By the brands that want it, the institutions that collect it, and the markets that price it.
Disndat exists at the point before that misreading. Where value is still forming, in specific environments, among specific people, under conditions not yet widely understood.
By the time something is established, it is already late. The question is not access. It is knowing what matters, where it comes from, and when to act.
The work spans advisory, activation, and objects, with brands, artists, spaces, and institutions. Artist development, partnerships, cultural programming, physical spaces, and the sourcing, placing, and management of significant objects. Different contexts. The same judgement.
01 - Credibility Over Visibility
Authority is built slowly and lost quickly. We do not chase attention. We build position that holds.
02 — Context Over Noise
The environment matters as much as the work. The wrong context destroys value regardless of quality.
03 — Judgement Over Access
Access is easy to claim. Knowing who matters, when it is right, and what it will produce — that is the work.
04 — Execution Over Theory
We are not removed from the work. We are in the decisions, the structure, and the outcome. What is built has to hold, culturally and commercially.
FOUNDED BY
Marco Tacchini & Zaki Vanderlip
Marco Tacchini and Zaki Vanderlip have spent the past decade operating inside the environments where cultural value forms. Working directly with artists, across fashion and music, through activations, and in the early markets for sneakers and collectible objects.
Their experience spans artist development, cultural programming, and the buying, selling, and management of objects at both emerging and institutional levels.
Disndat is a direct extension of that proximity. Built on long-standing relationships, earned trust, and a position between the environments where culture is made and the institutions that require access to it.
