A communal Metaverse space with live auctions for Christie's Auction House

plai partnered with the digital innovation team at Christie’s to help create an immersive and explorable other-worldly gallery space.

Christie’s 3.0 is an auction platform dedicated to exceptional NFT art. The platform allows on-chain NFT bidding from start to finish - a first for any auction house.

Created in Spatial, the platform has allowed Christie’s to more rapidly scale their digital art offering, and with that operate more frequent emerging artists' auctions, working with a diverse array of artists and collectors.

As an extension to the project, plai also recreated a number of Christie's available art pieces as 3D objects as part of an AR experience. This allows potential buyers to position pieces in their home environment, to evaluate how each piece would look in their space. This was transformational for buyer's who were unable to visit pieces they were considering purchasing during COVID travel restrictions.
