Convelio Unveils New Storage Solutions — Starting with London.

Convelio is proud to announce a groundbreaking addition to our logistics services: state-of-the-art storage solutions coupled with cutting-edge online inventory management. Beyond global transport and our digital shipping platform, we're now elevating the standard for art storage, redefining the way art collections are protected and accessible.

Our first warehouse, located just steps away from Heathrow, London, is equipped with the latest security measures, ensuring artwork is perfectly safeguarded in a climate-controlled environment. Soon, we’ll be able to welcome our clients’ collections in other locations — next in line: Paris.

As the art world continues to evolve, so does Convelio. We're committed to staying ahead of the curve, providing the innovative solutions galleries and art businesses need to thrive. Our new storage solutions are a testament to this dedication, offering a fully integrated ecosystem to consolidate all your art operations with greater ease and control.

Why Storage Matters in Fine Art Logistics

The art world demands precision and care in every aspect of logistics. Storage solutions must go beyond simple warehousing—they must address the critical needs of businesses that require excellence, security, and adaptability.

Artwork often moves multiple times before reaching its final destination, and when factoring in transit between storage facilities and exhibition locations, this number increases significantly. Exhibitions and auctions consistently require strategic pre- and post-sales storage solutions, with timelines that can shift unexpectedly, necessitating flexible and reliable options.

Convelio's Storage Solutions are tailored to meet these demands, offering top tier facilities that ensure the highest standards of security and accessibility.

Our London Warehouse

  • Our 13,500 sq. ft. Heathrow facility is equipped with temperature-controlled technology, high-end security infrastructures, Convelio’s fleet of Fine Art Trucks, and viewing rooms — all steps away from Central London.
  • Our comprehensive shipping and storage ecosystem safeguards the integrity of your assets, providing peace of mind and operational efficiency in managing your business’s valuable inventory.

Solutions Shaped by Clients’ Insights

Our move into storage was driven by the challenges our clients faced with competition— opaque pricing, disjointed providers, and limited storage visibility—and by the repeated requests from clients seeking a more reliable solution.

Over several months, we conducted 100+ client interviews, compiling insights to inform clients’ expectations for a cohesive, transparent solution.

Our clients expressed three overarching frustrations with traditional art storage solutions.

  1. Opaque pricing: Uncertainty around stored volumes and attributed expenses, lead to unjustified costs and accounting inefficiencies.
  2. Multiple providers: The hurdles of coordinating disjointed providers, each at varying levels of digital maturity, proved time-consuming and error-prone.
  3. Ad-hoc inventory visibility: The lack of access to historical data and real-time art logistics information, combined with inconsistent inventory management views, led to errors and increased administrative tasks.

A new era for art storage and inventory management

In response to these specific needs, Convelio Storage Solutions now allow clients to enjoy:
