About Us

ArtRatio manufactures patented smartglass vitrines to display art and luxury collections sustainably, by allowing natural light into the building facade without jeopardising the items on display.

Our name stems from the Golden Ratio, used throughout the ages by artists, mathematicians and scientists to emulate the divine proportions found in nature.

Similar to financial securities, the indices and ratios that we discover about the collection through our cloud-based IoT platform help our customers to decide when to exhibit, conserve, loan, sell or store the objects, based on their risk of damage, visibility, popularity and potential change in value.

Institutional Partners

ArtRatio is a sponsor of the UK Institute of Conservation and contributes to the ICON Policy Advisory Panel, lobbying the UK government on issues central to the art world.

ArtRatio partners with the SEAHA Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology, backed by UCL, Oxford and Brighton universities.

ArtRatio are Approved Service Providers at LAPADA (the Association of Art and Antique Dealers in London) and co-sponsors of the 2017 annual conference at Westminster Palace.

ArtRatio is a commercial member of the Museums Association and 2016 co-sponsors of the MA Conference in Glasgow.

Joaquin’s responsibilities at ArtRatio involve the design, production and delivery of our products to clients worldwide.

Carla’s previous experience as Advertising Director at The Asian Wall Street Journal made her accountable to the Dow Jones Management Board, bringing experience and insight into the luxury retail sector. As ArtRatio’s Chief Marketing Officer (based in Hong Kong), Carla helps our customers to showcase art collections in sustainable and cost-effective ways. Carla has degrees in Japanese and Linguistics.

As Business Development Director at ArtRatio, Neil manages to combine his love for the arts with his love of professional selling. A music graduate and active musician (he plays the ‘cello), Neil spent much of his early career working for Informa plc, the London-based global information provider, as Sales Manager for their project management division. He is a firm believer in the value of business relationships through a thorough understanding of a client’s situation, and providing exactly what they need. Neil is a fluent French speaker, and has a passion for classical music, interesting bibles, and fine wines.

The Meaning of ArtRatio

Our name points to the need to discover the ‘indices and ratios’ underlying art and luxury collections, much as we do for financial securities. In fact, these ‘treasure assets’ often form part of a diversified investment portfolio to hedge against market volatility. Our proactive risk mitigation strategy helps our customers to maintain the market value of their collections, and is tuned to the potential risk of damage to the items, their photopic visibility and their popularity.
