Lorenz Bäumer Makes Space in His Home, With Help From Sotheby’s
EVERYTHING MUST GO: When it comes to striking designs, jeweler Lorenz Bäumer doesn’t just like to make them — he likes the thrill of a good find, too.
“I buy because [an object] is beautiful and then I have to find a spot for it,” he admitted.
The downside to this is that right now, space is at a premium in his Parisian home, as evidenced by frames propped five-deep against a wall.
Hence why he is offering around lots in an online auction with the Sotheby’s auction house, although he joked that the industry rumor mill probably thought him broke.

Prime among them is Lorenz Bäumer, who opened his salon and workshop at 19 Place Vendôme in June Although it’s informed by an intimate knowledge of and respect for the great jewellers of the past, Bäumer’s work is, at times, breezily freewheeling and irreverent and often gloriously colourful. Equally well, when the occasion demands, Bäumer can turn his skilled hand to heart-stoppingly lovely and coolly sophisticated pieces that are liter
