ALTAIR4 MULTIMEDIA
Altair4 Multimedia derives from the eponymous group of artists founded in 1986. Its name is like a program manifesto for the company’s aspirations and mission: Altair4 is the Forbidden Planet in the 1956 film by the same name by Fred McLeod Wilcox, where dreams and desires can become true not through esoteric magic but through the extraordinary progress of human intellective abilities.
Beinf the offspring of a culture which sees the future as an opportunity and a challenge, its founding partners have established Altair4 with the aim of creating a high-quality innovative brand as regards design for new media, following up on what has already been done, for other production sectors, by well-known brands and by the great masters of Italian industrial design.
