About Us

We develop technology solutions for sellers and buyers of antiques, vintage and one-of-a-kind​

Our mission is to connect and inspire all those who appreciate, preserve and purvey such items, through simple solutions built by and for passionate people who celebrate the unique.

Our Story

I’ve lived and loved the interior design industry for most of my adult life and have developed a deep appreciation for the beauty (and the challenges) of both buying and selling unique and one-of-a-kind items.

I founded Ronati five years ago after attending a particularly memorable antiques fair, during which I had the chance to speak with many of the wonderful people who work in this profession. Their frustration was clear – it became obvious to me that this sector has been sadly underserved in the Information Age.

I could foresee a future in which our global community is interconnected in a way that will benefit and uplift all of us, and I was inspired to undertake the development of solutions to make that a reality: tools that would help the industry to do more than survive, but to thrive as never before.

I’m proud of the strides we’ve made at Ronati, where our purpose is to support, inspire and assist all constituents of the art, vintage and antiques industry.

Who we are

Our leadership is largely composed of veterans of the interior design and antiques industry. Since 2017 we have been working directly with dealers to develop these tools to match the needs of the unique item industry.

We partner with leading marketplaces, associations, trade fairs, and events worldwide. A list can be found in the Partners section of our website.

How we work

We listen and learn, and we develop our tools accordingly. Our inaugural product was the eCommerce Manager – a concierge service to help antique dealers post and track their goods online

We started hearing from an increasing number of dealers who wanted a simple inventory management system that they could manage in-house; we set to work to create that.

The next problem to solve was how to quickly document stock; development of a partner mobile app was added to the project.

Ronati Studio is our answer to these needs and is the next step towards true global interconnection: helping dealers share their stock as seamlessly as possible.

Ronati Studio is our answer to this need and is the next step towards true global interconnection: helping dealers share their stock online as seamlessly as possible.

What makes us unique

While there are other inventory management and marketplace listing tools, none were designed specifically for the unique item industry, nor were they designed as elements of a longer-range vision of making possible real global interconnection that will benefit all constituents.

At Ronati we live the belief that it takes a supportive, knowledgeable, accountable network to properly treat the beautiful world of one-of-a-kind.
