“It all starts with the handprint. In the cave, this early human, she dips her hand in the paint, she makes a mark, and then shows the others how to do it too. That is the first family portrait, and also marks the beginning of design - art - everything.”

And so it was with this foundational moment of humanity’s desire to personalise the spaces we inhabit that Roberto Palomba started his discussion on “The Art of Living - Living with The Art.” Hosted at the Lualdi flagship in the Robertson-Beverly Bvlds Design District, the renowned architect and designer was invited to Los Angeles by the Consulate General of Italy, the IIC and the Italian Trade Commission to launch Italian Design Day.
