About Us

ArtRatio patented smartglass vitrines display art and luxury collections sustainably, allowing more natural light into the building facade but 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.
