LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
“We met at a ball in Rome at 5am,” remembers Roberto Palomba of the first time he laid eyes on his future wife and business partner, Ludovica Serafini. “I was in a tux, she was wearing a red Valentino gown. We were very young, she was very beautiful and I was not. I was completely in love. It took me eight months to kiss her, then she married me.”
ARKETIPO STARMAN SOFA
Starman plays with aggressive and powerful contours, designed to impose their being in a unique space. Starman is about imposition, it’s about disturbing elements of the natural order to create something new. New, it’s a meaning that is filled with trepidation yet it needs to be embraced because, new can also mean changing the status quo.
