SPREADING OF COSTS

At the end of the leasing contract, you can exercise the purchase option in order to acquire the work for a residual value corresponding to 3% of its initial value.

ENHANCEMENT OF YOUR IMAGE

The presence of works of art on your premises allows you to assert your difference and enhance the image of your company in the eyes of your partners and customers.
