Think you know Altro, think again!

Altro floors and walls go beyond mere functionality; they aim to surprise and delight by seamlessly integrating elements of nature, mimicry, biophilia, and support neurodiversity and inclusive design.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world, our designs evoke a sense of calm and harmony, bringing the outdoors indoors. Mimicking patterns found in nature, such as the soothing flow of water or the intricate textures of foliage, our surfaces create a visually stimulating environment conducive to well-being.

Altro design solutions embrace the principles of biophilia, recognising the intrinsic human connection to nature, and can incorporate elements like natural light, greenery, and organic shapes into our designs. We also prioritise neurodiversity and inclusive design, ensuring that our products cater to individuals with diverse sensory needs and abilities.

By fostering a sense of inclusivity and connection to the natural world through our designs, Altro floors and walls not only enhance spaces aesthetically but also promote holistic well-being and productivity.

When we incorporate biophilic design into our buildings, we engage our senses. Biophilic design has profound benefits to engaging our senses and supporting emotional wellbeing: reducing stress levels, increasing kindness, improving learner engagement, and increasing social connectivity. Our aim is to simultaneously improve the quality of wellbeing for the individuals and wider local communities whilst enhancing social, economic and environmental sustainability. We design with the intrinsic human need to affiliate with nature.
