Baum-kuchen Enamel Pin – Here Now With You

An exclusively designed  Baum-kuchen enamel pin, “Here now with you”designed for their 10th anniversary.

The design is delicate, gentle, and friendly so the pin can be a subtle message you can add to your favorite pouch, pen case, or jacket. The sentiment also embraces their genuine gratitude for all their customers and fans being with them as they celebrate the BK’s 10th anniversary with the aim to bring more inspiration to all those who follow their work. 

Baum-kuchen started its journey in 2010 as an online store operated in the founders’ Wakako and Frido’s garage. Today they are a studio, shop, and lifestyle that are passionate about living life and excited to share with their customers everything extraordinary that inspires every day.

The approach to the Baum-kuchen lifestyle comes from their unique background of German Bauhaus and Japanese wabi-sabi marrying together harmoniously in California. The products they create and curate at their studio are aesthetically beautiful, emotionally and physically durable, and functional.

They 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

Their hope is to continuously bring us creativity, imagination, and inspiration.

“Baum-kuchen” is a name of a delicious German cake that has become quite popular in Japan. It looks like a tree stump and to Wakako and Frido it represents layers of happiness that have been built with time aging beautifully.
