Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, the names behind a brand India already trusts

Walk into a well-specified Indian bathroom and the odds are good the brand is Ideal Standard — one of the houses that call on Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba. The Milan duo, architects and designers since founding their studio in 1994, has collected over seventy awards — two Compasso d'Oro in 2011 among them — working for Laufen, Zucchetti, Poltrona Frau and KIA.

Their office side lives at i4Mariani: Siena, executive and home-office furniture in wood, saddle leather and lacquer, with the Sella seating family alongside. La Mercanti brings the collection to Indian projects — a familiar signature, at director scale.
