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 thirty artists and producers from Europe and Israel.

As a musician (Maximilian) or dancer and choreographer (Maria) we both have an artistic background. Maximilian is also a former newspaper editor and was involved in making Terra Lumi the German-speaking market leader online shop for historic outdoor lighting.

In our Berlin warehouse and office, we personally take care of your order and send it wrapped as a gift (with the exception of larger objects) to you. For all questions and concerns feel free to call us at +49 30 616 406 33 (Mon-Fri from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm CET).

* The German term Kunstbaron is intended as a pun and literally translates to art baron. It describes the stereotype of a very rich man who competetively buys and accumulates large quantities of modern art. 

What we do

In these days of the boom of online 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 quick trends
• Shipping with DHL GoGreen
• Business account at GLS Bank
• Green power by Lichtblick

* Since we re-use any packing materials coming to us from our manufacturers and suppliers you might still receive a package containing plastic materials.
