I’ve never believed too much in looking at what your competitors are doing.

Of course, you need to understand your market. But there’s a difference between understanding it and letting it define what you do.

Someone will always be cheaper. Someone will have a bigger space. Someone will launch something new. Someone will do something you wish you had thought of first.

You can spend your energy reacting to all of it. Or you can spend it asking a much harder question:

Are we better than we were a year ago?

Is the experience better?
Is the service better?
Is the team stronger?
Are we taking more risks?
Are we giving people a reason to remember us?

That’s the competition I care about most.

Not becoming better than the business next door.

Becoming harder to compare to anyone at all.

Very proud of this one. 🥇

Maison Territo started with an ambitious idea: to create a new destination for luxury design in Montreal.

Seeing that vision receive a Gold Certification at the 2026 Grands Prix du Design is a very special milestone for all of us.

And now, we need your help. Maison Territo is in the running for the People’s Choice Award.

If you love what we’ve created, I’d really appreciate your vote. 🖤

Very proud to share this piece written by my wife, Liv Siv-Ing , and published in Le Devoir

« Avons-nous encore le droit de parler de luxe? »

It’s a subject that hits close to home for us.

Having grown up in a family that has been in the furniture business for more than 50 years, I’ve always believed that the value of an object isn’t simply in its price. It’s in how it was made, how long it lasts, the memories created around it, and sometimes, the fact that it can be passed on to the next generation.

That philosophy is also a big part of what Liv and I wanted to express when we created Maison Territo

In her piece, Liv challenges the idea that luxury is simply about price, excess or status. Instead, she talks about buying less and choosing better — valuing craftsmanship, quality, repairability and objects that are made to last.

Perhaps today, true luxury isn’t about having more. It’s about choosing better and choosing things that last.

Very proud of her, and definitely a conversation worth having.

Derrière chaque entreprise, il y a une histoire.

Merci Samuel pour cette conversation authentique. Liv et moi avons eu le plaisir de revenir sur notre parcours, la création de Maison Territo, notre vision du luxe et ce qui nous inspire au quotidien.

Si le sujet vous intéresse, je vous souhaite une excellente écoute!

Maison Territo is part of the Archiproducts retailer community.
In 1972, Sicilian immigrants Calogero and Francesca Territo opened a furniture workshop in Montreal. Fifty years later, their son David Territo and his wife Liv Siv-Ing have turned that legacy into an 11,000 sq ft showroom housing Fendi Casa, Dolce & Gabbana Casa, Versace Home and Bentley Home.

As David Territo puts it, great design "acts like a mirror" of who we are, the moment furniture becomes identity.

This is what we believe a retailer network should do: when Professionals discover a product, they should find the showroom behind it. Through the Digital Showroom, Maison Territo stays locally searchable in Montreal and visible across our global network of Architects and Designers.

One year ago, Maison Territo opened its doors with a vision to create more than a furniture showroom, a space where fashion, design, architecture and emotion could come together under one roof.

Today, looking back at everything we’ve built, the people we’ve met, the challenges we’ve faced and the memories created inside these walls… we’re just getting started.

Thank you to everyone who believed in the vision, supported us, collaborated with us and walked through our doors this past year.

Here’s to year two. 🖤
