Creativity often begins where limitations appear.
David Territo
Creativity is one of the core values that guides everything David Territo builds.
For David, creativity is not simply about unlimited freedom. In many cases, the most interesting ideas emerge when there are limitations.
Architecture, development, and design projects always involve constraints — regulations, structural realities, budgets, and technical challenges. Rather than seeing these as obstacles, David views them as opportunities to think differently.
Together with his wife Liv, David continues building projects that connect real estate, design, and global luxury brands.
Built on a family legacy in furniture craftsmanship, the platform brings together initiatives that share a common philosophy: creating spaces where architecture, materials, furniture, and atmosphere are considered as a complete experience. Rather than approaching projects from only one perspective, David works across multiple layers of the built environment — from development and spatial planning to the furniture and design elements that shape how a space is ultimately experienced.
Through Maison Territo, David works with leading international furniture houses, building relationships that bring global design expertise, curated collections, and collaborative opportunities into projects in Montreal and beyond.
David works with renowned luxury brands including Fendi Casa, Dolce & Gabbana Casa, Versace Home, and Bentley Home. These relationships go beyond collections, offering direct collaboration with international design teams. Access to these brands is typically limited to a select group of partners worldwide.
These partnerships provide access to global design teams, bringing their expertise directly into each project.
Maison Territo offers a rare environment where multiple luxury brands can be experienced together, allowing architects and clients to explore materials and collections in a more immersive way.
David regularly travels to meet manufacturers, discover new collections, and build relationships with brands and artisans. This global network keeps projects connected to evolving design perspectives and unique sourcing opportunities.
Through Casa Vogue and Maison Territo, David supports projects across a wide range of scales — from highly curated interiors to larger developments. This flexibility allows architects and developers to work with a single partner for sourcing and design integration.
A curated selection of residential and design-focused projects where architecture, materials, and thoughtful planning shape the experience of living. These works reflect David’s ability to move from pursuing “impossible” ideas to creating highly optimized residential and commercial concepts.
David Territo’s work extends beyond furniture and construction into objects that shape atmosphere and memory. The Maison Territo candle is one such expression.
Rooted in a family tradition of craftsmanship, each candle is produced by hand with the same discipline applied to furniture making. Materials are chosen for longevity, and the container is designed to remain long after the flame has faded.
It reflects how David approaches space itself, not as decoration, but as something to be lived in, where light, scent, and proportion quietly define the experience.
Design, entrepreneurship, and development are inherently creative processes. Through this section, David shares reflections on building businesses, creating spaces, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship.

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. 🖤

Salone del Mobile is where direction is set.
This year, I had the chance to meet some of the minds shaping global design: Marcel Wanders, who creates furniture and interiors that redefine luxury through storytelling; Gabriele Chiave, who leads creative direction across major fashion and design brands; and Toan Nguyen, who designs collections for leading international manufacturers.
They’re not just designers. They’re the ones deciding what comes next.
They’re behind the pieces we see in showrooms and projects around the world and what stood out to me is how intentional everything is. When you speak with them, you realize that every detail has a reason. Nothing is random.
If you don’t know who’s behind the work, it’s hard to fully understand why it’s designed the way it is.
Being immersed in environments like Fendi Casa goes beyond inspiration. It’s where you see how fashion houses are shaping the direction of interiors and setting the tone, not following it.
What’s interesting is that many local designers and architects don’t always have direct access to this level of work, these conversations, or the people behind it.
And that matters.
Because design is evolving globally and staying connected to that evolution changes the way you think, create, and execute projects.
For me, it reinforces what we’re building at Maison Territo.
Not just a showroom, but a bridge that’s bringing international design, ideas, and relationships back to Montreal.
