Founded by Ziad Matta, Altus recently celebrated its 10th anniversary during an exclusive ceremony, organized in its Beirut showroom.

The event not only commemorated a decade of excellence, but also introduced four prestigious brands to its luxurious collection: Baxter, Edra, Lema and Visionnaire. A sign of loyalty to its credo: the union of several brands in a single space.
The Altus showroom in Beirut, where a sense of home reigns, has always offered an exceptional experience to its clientele made up of architects, interior designers and discerning clients, who find it a destination of choice for European high-end furniture, thanks to its meticulous selection of unique pieces. The gallery is managed by a team of dedicated professionals, ensuring personalized service and tailor-made finishes.
To mark its 10th anniversary, Altus is giving itself a present. Four new brands, Baxter, Edra, Lema and Visionnaire, have been added to the thirty brands already included in its portfolio and are, therefore, now exclusively available at Altus. All of these labels are carefully selected to meet a wide range of tastes and preferences with sustainability and continued growth at the forefront.
During this grand celebration, Edra’s artisans presented their unique know-how, ensuring guests a quality experience.
A magical transformation was unveiled during the evening: the ground floor of the exhibition hall was transformed into a captivating party venue. This seamless transition reflects Altus’ commitment to offering sophistication and unforgettable experiences.
Once again, the company demonstrates a commitment to quality, sustainability, tailor-made and the creation of homes, not just spaces. It also testifies the synergy between European craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Live music played by one of the best DJs.

The anniversary of Altus-Beirut was celebrated with great fanfare.

Contemporary concept, sober and elegant lines, colors and muted tones resolutely in tune with the times, noble and quality materials… The multiple creations designed and sculpted by Terry Dwan have everything to seduce us. Take a look at this outstanding talent. An architect and designer at the same time, Terry Dawn has, for a long time, established his notoriety on the international scene, thanks to his remarkable style. Based in Milan, this native American but adopted Italian uses a language of her own. Born in 1957, in Santa Monica, California, United States, she began her career after studying engineering and architecture at Rice University, Houston, in addition to training in Fine Arts at Studio Arts Center International (SACI) in Florence, Italy. The designer, who won the Fulbright Fellowship to study the architecture of cemeteries and war monuments in Italy, graduated from Yale University in Architecture in 1984. After an experience alongside Antonio Citterio, with whom she collaborated from 1985 to 1996 and founded the Citterio/Dwan office, working on several projects and residential complexes, fairs and exhibitions, notably in Switzerland, Japan, Germany and Italy, she opened her own design agency in 1992 and got involved in great designs, whether in architecture or decoration. A book entitled Antonio Citterio & Terry Dwan: Ten years of Architecture and Design, signed by Pippo Ciorra, was published on the occasion of the exhibition that the duo organized in Bordeaux in 1993. At the same time, it multiplies design projects for the biggest publishers and won numerous awards at international competitions. In 1996, she began by developing industrial design plans for firms such as Sawaya and Moroni, Electrolux, San Lorenzo and Driade. An accomplished designer, she juggles with forms, materials and concepts, questions obvious codes, experiments and explores eclectic universes: from the architecture of private residences, public buildings and interior decoration, through the design and the from salon and exhibition design to furniture and porcelain or silver objects, she is interested in everything and comes out with flying colors. Marrying current vision with everyday functionality, some of her works are part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum at the Milan Triennale. Passionate, her career is marked by numerous explorations of the material where wood, her material of choice, occupies a privileged place. She enjoys working with it revealing its multiple aesthetic qualities, through several everyday basics, many models of which have become emblematic, such as Maui, seat in scented cedar wood, edited by Riva 1920, and the Napa armchair, object oscillating between functional piece of furniture and biomorphic sculpture, or even Implement, a desk composed of two juxtaposed and misaligned wooden boards. Her collaboration with Driade is crowned by the timeless Burgos and Bedda sofas. A sought-after speaker around the world, Terry Dwan has taught architecture at SACI, Florence, and co-taught architectural heritage conservation at the University of Milan. Since 2006, she has been Dean of the Council of the School of Architecture at Yale University and a member of the SACI Board of Trustees.
