Since 2014, VELVENOIR has created contemporary art collections for private collectors and spaces across hospitality, healthcare, residential, and corporate environments.
We work closely with interior designers, architects, developers, and brands to translate their vision into a collection with meaning and a distinct identity. Our international collective brings together art curators, art historians, hospitality experts, and project managers, combining cultural insight with the experience required to deliver complex projects.
From curatorial strategy, sourcing, acquisitions, and artist commissions to museum-standard framing, logistics, installation, and documentation, we guide every stage. We listen, ask the unexpected questions, and encourage our clients to make bold and informed decisions.
The result is an art collection that belongs to its setting, supports the artists behind it, and has the power to connect with and move people.
What began with a background in hospitality and a deep curiosity for contemporary culture has grown into an international art consultancy connecting collectors, hotels, interior designers, clinics and brands. This is the story behind the founder Alexandra Schafer.

What began in the stillness of the Australian outback has grown into a global art consultancy rooted in collaboration, expression, and culture. This is the story of how it all began, and what the name VELVENOIR truly means.
