Baum-kuchen Patch – Wabi-Sabi

An exclusively designed  Baum-kuchen patch, “Wabi Sabi”. The inspiration comes from the Japanese “Wabi-Sabi” philosophy: imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness.

You can use the self-adhesive back to add it to a hard surface or sew it on your bags, pouches, jackets, and Traveler’s Notebooks, just like any other patches. The possibilities are endless.

Dimension: W2.5 x H 5cm

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.
