Collection: Baum-kuchen

"Baum-kuchen started its journey in 2010 as an online store operated in Wakako and Frido's garage. Today we are a part studio, part shop (online and brick & mortar) and part lifestyle who are passionate about living life and excited to share with you everything extraordinary that inspires every day. 

The approach to Baum-kuchen lifestyle comes from our unique background of German Bauhaus and Japanese wabi-sabi marrying together harmoniously in Los Angeles. Products we create and curate at our studio are aesthetically beautiful, emotionally and physically durable and very functional.

We are interested in exploring the idea of "Journey as the destination", "love for analogue" and "slow living" and are constantly evolving and looking for inspiration from Japan (where Wakako grew up), Germany (where Frido is from) and everywhere in between (especially in Los Angeles where our home and studio is). We opened our brick and mortar studio/shop in 2013 in the heart of Glassell Park (just north of Los Angeles downtown) where we showcase some of our products and share our stories. 

We also love staying in touch with our virtual community via BK monthly love letter and Instagram feed and are constantly sharing our unique life adventure through our stories.

Our hope is to continuously bring you creativity, imagination, and inspiration.

It’s our life. Let’s make it beautiful:)
