Maison Arlus

Arlus is a French company established in the 1950s. The name is derived from the two words Art and Lustre, chandelier in French.

The shop was located in the Avenue de Clichy number 7 in the 17th district in Paris. 

In the 1980s the Debbas Group acquired the company. They are located in 30, Rue Alexandre in Gennevilliers, not so far away from the old address on the other side of the Seine river in Paris.
