Function meets art. The Mini Artist Edition - Slow is more than a Baukasten – it is a tribute to enjoy life lighter.

Price composition
Why transparent pricing?
Baukasten is a part-time project where quality, sustainability, and community are consistently the focus. This affects the price, for example, because we source sustainable materials, pay our helpers and artistsfairly, and prefer to do less but better.
The total cost amounts to approximately 51EUR
With a selling price of 70 EUR, approximately 19EUR remains.
From the 19EUR we pay for discounts, marketing, product development & operational costs such as insurance, warehousing, etc.
It's practically a zero-sum game , where we don't pay ourselves a salary. That's great, because we do it part-time and out of passion !

Frequently Asked Product Questions
Why do you make Artist Editions?
Without creative people, the world is missing something essential. Many artists struggle to balance passion with financial security – this is where we come in: visibility, fair participation, and a platform for shared ideas. Limited releases, co-branding, authentic stories – value for art, community, and everyday life.
Which filters and papers are compatible?
6mm activated carbon filters & standard long papers from all major brands. We recommend GIZEH & Hybrid.
Suitable for left- and right-handed rollers?
Yes, the Mini fits both of them thanks to the open-sided base.

Baukasten collab vision
Julio was born in Cuba and moved to Italy with his mother when he was six years old.
Influenced early on by movement and diversity, he developed a deep connection to creativity,craftsmanship, and expression.
Today he lives on Fuerteventura – a place of tranquility that shapes his view of aesthetics, rituals and what is essential.
Julio's creative work moves between fashion, identity and community.
As the founder of Monkey Fam – a creative collective of design, exchange and shared vision – he understands fashion as an expression of belonging and individuality at the same time.
His designs combine craftsmanship and attitude, aesthetics and meaning .
We are passionate smokers ourselves and have never really found good products for everyday, modern canna consumption. That's why we wanted to take matters into our own hands and create cool products for this truly wonderful community and its people, so we can all enjoy the ritual and everyday life even more.
