At VELVENOIR, we believe art has the power to transform spaces and tell meaningful stories. Founded in Salzburg, Austria, in 2014 by Alexandra Schafer, our mission is simple: to make contemporary art accessible, personal, and unforgettable.

Our values—courage, innovation, authenticity, and sustainability—guide everything we do.

We work closely with our clients to curate and procure collections that reflect their vision, bringing together art that resonates and leaves a lasting impression.

From private collectors to luxury hotels and corporate firms, we create art collections and experiences, tailored towards each unique brief.

With a team of global experts, including advisors, curators, framers and art handlers, we take care of every detail—from finding the perfect artwork to strategic placement and storytelling.

Our commitment to sustainability ensures that each collection not only adds value today but also contributes to a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Partnering with VELVENOIR means more than curating art—it’s about building connections, celebrating creativity, and making art an unforgettable part of your life. Whether it’s for a private collection or a public space, we’re here to make the journey personal, inspiring, and impactful.

[At VELVENOIR, we believe that transforming the art world requires both courage and a desire to stand out.]

"Art collecting is a deeply personal expression for me—it reflects who I am, what I stand for, and what I want to support. Through VELVENOIR, I’ve made it my mission, alongside my team, to build meaningful art collections, with a personal story behind.

Coming from a hospitality and marketing background, I have witnessed the transformative power of art in hotels and commercial settings. Art becomes a silent ambassador, showcasing values, telling stories, and leaving a lasting impression on guests and clients.

Through VELVENOIR, we aim to reflect the unique visions and aspirations of our diverse clientele, always ensuring everything is bespoke towards them.
Whether curating for private homes or large-scale projects, we bridge the gap between art and its audience, ensuring that every piece resonates with purpose and creates unforgettable experiences. This commitment drives everything we do—delivering a comprehensive, tailored service that celebrates the profound impact of art in all aspects of life."
