About Us

ArtRatio manufactures patented smartglass vitrines to display art and luxury collections sustainably, by allowing natural light into the building facade and 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.

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.
