What Eythos does

Eythos is a privately-held specialist custodian of art and high-value assets operating an integrated storage, logistics, and technical-handling platform across Asia-Pacific. The company runs purpose-built, LEED Gold-certified climate-controlled facilities in Hong Kong (Tsing Yi, 6,000m² flagship), South Korea (Incheon adjacent to international seaport and airport), and Singapore (Loyang Lane), with a fourth on-airport flagship — SKYTOPIA at Hong Kong International Airport — scheduled to launch in 2027. Its service portfolio spans fine-art, luxury, and collectibles storage (with tiered environments ranging from general storage to private rooms, viewing rooms with museum-grade Erco lighting, slide racks, conservation-grade cold storage, and crate storage), three-mode transport (air freight with tarmac supervision, consolidated sea freight with reefer technology, and local transport using air-ride suspension specialist vehicles), and professional services including art installation, condition checks, bespoke framing, custom crating, and display furniture rental. Eythos serves four primary customer segments — art galleries, museums and cultural institutions, private collectors and family offices, and international art fairs — and holds official shipper designations for Art Basel Hong Kong and Frieze Seoul, providing on-site booth fabrication, installation, and mid-fair inventory swaps.

The technological foundation pairs physical asset-care infrastructure (temperature-controlled environments, gas-based fire suppression, biometric locks, badge access, surveillance, GPS-tracked vehicles) with a proprietary digital layer called Sesame — a client-facing inventory and sharing application currently listed as 'coming soon' and intended to function as the digital command center for collections in Eythos's care. The Atelier de Fabrication houses on-site carpentry, framing, and crate-building capability led by master craftspeople, producing Standard, Climate, Museum, and Recycled crates along with bespoke framing. Sustainability is formalized through 100% LEED Gold facility certification, Gallery Climate Coalition Active Member status since 2024, EV Recognition for local transport, and an SBTi-approved Net-Zero commitment by 2036.

Eythos generates revenue through four streams: subscription/recurring storage billed weekly with monthly invoicing and optional prepayment; transaction-based transport (air, sea, local); professional services for art fairs and installations billed per project; and one-time/quote-based bespoke fabrication revenue from framing and crating. Distribution is direct and enterprise-led — dedicated Client Relationship Managers in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Singapore manage accounts through relationship-driven field sales, supplemented by an art-fair acquisition channel and a quote-based inbound website inquiry system. The company operates regionally as 'Eythos Group' with distinct local entities (Eythos Hong Kong Ltd, Eythos Korea, Eythos Singapore) and is backed by family office KD Capital, with Maggie Yu serving as both Head of Finance & HR at Eythos and Corporate Strategy at KD Capital.
