Welcome to Kunstbaron
We welcome your visit to our special collection of artfully crafted living accessories, gift ideas and playful objects.
Our most special love is for our unique selection of decorative hanging mobiles and their fabulous effect not only on a room but also on the mind.
We cooperate with artists and mostly family-run manufacturers who create special objects for today with awareness of traditional craftsmanship, and value high-quality sustainable materials such as wood, metal, glass and paper.
With very few exceptions*, what you discover in our shop is made in Europe.
We ship your order from Berlin and are available to advise you in advance by email or phone.
Please note that our checkout only accepts orders from the EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway. Please contact us for a delivery to any other country.
* Made outside of Europe are our kaleidoscopes (Israel) and the Buddha Board (China).
Mobiles - Aesthetics, Calm and Comfort
Every room is a place that reflects life. The silent floating mobile stands for mindfulness, sense of art and aesthetic aspiration. It stands for the beautiful and special things in life.
We recommend our artistic mobiles as:
- invigorating and at the same time calming accessories for private rooms
- stylish and impressive accessories for representative rooms
- atmospherically valuable accessories for your medical or therapy practice as well as for care facilities
- loving gift that reminds people of each other in an everyday and joyful way
- fascinating sensual experience for babies and toddlers
Playing & Giving
Man (and woman) should never be too old to play. We joyfully maintain our selection of handcrafted playful objects, mostly intended for collectors and lovers beyond the age of children. Thus, you will find with us:
- mesmerizing premium kaleidoscopes with high quality lenses and mirrors, set in brass
- hand-turned spinning tops in artistic designs made of a variety of materials
- a large selection of the legendary original Naef Toys made of excellently crafted domestic woods
- two chess sets by Bauhaus artists as exact replicas according to the original designs
- Romantic music boxes with mechanisms from the Black Forest, set in ornate wooden cases
These timelessly inspiring toys can of course be given as gifts on any occasion.
Living & Mindfulness
Taking a breath, finding balance and spending inspiring time with loved ones – all this is what we want when we are in our very own home. To create your living space, we offer, in addition to our artistic mobiles, among others:
- the exclusive clocks collection by legendary Catalan designer José María Reina, who mostly omitted the dial ingeniously
- fantastic cushions by Finnish textile artist Klaus Haapaniemi with his fascinating nature motifs on velvet and silk
- a collection of unique lights with translucent shades made of wafer-thin real wood veneer, fragrant alpine hay and, yes: rock
- artful minimalist design clothes racks made of solid wood, manufactured in Germany
- a meditative and every day anew fascinating sand pendulum made of stainless steel
Who we are
We are Maria and Maximilian Baroncea and Kunstbaron* is our family business. What was originally planned as a small shop selling the works of a befriended artist, now includes objects from around twenty artists and producers from Europe and Israel.
In our Berlin warehouse and office, we personally take care of your order.
* The word Kunstbaron is a tongue-in-cheek pun which only works in German. The name literally translates to art baron. It describes the stereotype of a very rich man who buys and accumulates large quantities of sculptures and paintings.
What we do
In these days of the boom of e-commerce, we want to do as little as possible to waste our resources and as much as possible to contribute to fair trade. For us this means:
- Plastic free shipping *
- Long-lasting objects made predominantly of natural materials
- Fair manufacturing conditions instead of dumping prices
- Timelessly beautiful design instead of short-lived trends
- Shipping with DHL GoGreen
- Business account at the ethically committed GLS Bank
- Green power from renewable sources
- Donations to the Eden Reforestation Project
* Since we re-use any packing materials coming to us from our manufacturers and suppliers you might still receive a package containing plastic materials.
Our Berlin address houses our office. We don't offer any sales, service or exhibition there.
