Whether as an exclusive highlight for private living spaces, representative reception areas, hotels, corporate headquarters or as an extraordinary gift – an Original Buddy Bear unique piece combines contemporary art with one of Berlin's best-known landmarks. With every sculpture you acquire not just a hand-painted work of art, but a piece of Berlin's cultural history that stands worldwide for openness, diversity and humanity.
What Makes Buddy Bear Unique Pieces Special
A Buddy Bear unique piece is far more than a decorative sculpture – it is a handmade original artwork with an unmistakable identity. Every Buddy Bear is created through free artistic work and is produced only once. As a result, every work has its own story, its individual style and the unmistakable signature of its artist. No two unique pieces are alike.
Genuine Originals Instead of Series Production
Our Buddy Bear unique pieces are designed entirely by hand by renowned national and international artists. Unlike series models or unpainted blanks, the motifs are created without fixed templates – inspired by personal ideas, cultural influences or social themes. This makes every Buddy Bear a unique original and an expressive work of art.
Exclusive Unique Pieces in 33 cm and 1 Metre
Particularly sought after are our 33 cm Buddy Bear unique pieces with an elegant round base, as well as the impressive 1-metre Buddy Bears, also known as the "Mini Dancer". Both sizes give the artists enough room for extraordinary compositions, detailed painting techniques and creative interpretations. The result is exclusive collector's pieces that make a striking statement in private homes as well as in companies, hotels or galleries.
Hand-Signed Works of Art with Lasting Value
Many of our Original Buddy Bear unique pieces can be hand-signed by the artists on request. The signature underlines the authenticity of the work and makes every art object a special collector's piece with lasting intrinsic and artistic value.
Your Personal Buddy Bear Unique Piece
In addition to freely designed artist editions, we also create individual Buddy Bear unique pieces to your wishes. Whether company, institution or private individual – together with our artists, a unique original is created that expresses your story, your values or your brand in an unmistakable way.

Art with a Message – the Connection to the United Buddy Bears
Some works of art make a room more beautiful. Others tell a story. A Buddy Bear unique piece does both.
Many of the artists who design our exclusive Buddy Bear unique pieces have also created one of the world-famous United Buddy Bears – the life-size bears that, since 2002, have been bringing people together as an international touring exhibition on five continents and in more than 36 countries.
Each United Buddy Bear represents a country and is designed by an artist from that home country or country of origin. This creates a unique collection of original artworks in which different cultures, traditions and artistic signatures come together. Together they stand for universal values such as peace, freedom, tolerance and understanding between nations – values that are more relevant today than ever.
This message lives on in our Buddy Bear unique pieces. Many of the artists transfer their ideas, their culture and their personal signature onto exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces that you can take home. With a 33 cm Buddy Bear unique piece, you therefore acquire not only a hand-painted original artwork from Berlin, but a piece of a worldwide story that connects people and builds bridges between cultures.
And perhaps that is exactly what makes it special: with your Buddy Bear, the message of the United Buddy Bears becomes part of your home, your company or your collection. You not only preserve a unique work of art, but visibly carry forward the idea of openness, respect and understanding.
Would you like to create your very own connection to this project? Then you can have your own 33 cm Buddy Bear individually designed by one of the United Buddy Bears artists. This creates an unmistakable unique piece that links your story with the international message of the Buddy Bears – an original that exists only once in the world.

Buddy Bear unique pieces are original artworks already fully designed by artists. Each sculpture has been individually hand-painted, has its own artistic signature and is available directly as a finished one-of-a-kind piece.
Our white Buddy Bear sculptures, on the other hand, are blanks in 1-metre or 2-metre sizes that serve as the basis for individual designs. They are designed by artists specifically to your wishes – for example for companies, brands, events, anniversaries or special projects – and are created as part of a personal enquiry.
Both options are based on the original Buddy Bear shape and stand for the highest quality and creative design. While a Buddy Bear unique piece is an already finished work of art with a unique story, a white sculpture offers the opportunity to have a very personal, tailor-made art object developed to your own ideas.
Yes. As with all sales in our shop, we donate 5% of net sales to children's charities – including for our unique pieces. The donation applies to all finished works that are available in the shop and can be ordered directly. For unique pieces in 1-metre and 2-metre sizes commissioned individually to customer specifications, there is the option to buy them at a special price plus a donation amount.
Within Germany, we ship our Buddy Bear unique pieces carefully protected in special transport boxes. For larger works of art in 1-metre and 2-metre sizes, we arrange delivery individually with you – on request also with personal transport by our team or collection from our studio in Berlin-Mariendorf. International deliveries are also possible on request.
Based on an original idea by its founder Eva Herlitz, Buddy Bear Berlin has developed a limited series of bears made of high-quality 2D acrylic. The famous silhouette, this time in 2D, allows an original work of art to be inserted. Each work is a unique piece and numbered.
