About Balmann

Balmann was created with a clear ambition. To celebrate the Christmas tree as the true heart of the season, the centrepiece around which the warmth, beauty and magic of Christmas come to life in homes around the world.

The name carries a dual inspiration.

“Balm” evokes comfort, warmth and the feeling of a welcoming home.

“Mann” reflects the founder’s Alsatian and Germanic roots, where Christmas traditions have long held a special place in culture and everyday life.

Together, these two elements give Balmann its meaning. A warm and welcoming man, someone who brings the magic, light and warmth of Christmas into every home.

A vision: turning the Christmas tree into a true centrepiece

For the founder, the Christmas tree is not just a decoration, it is the very heart of Christmas.
The tree itself carries the emotion, the presence, and the spirit of the season.

Even if a Christmas tree is artificial, it should feel real.
It should recreate that unmistakable presence that fills a room and makes Christmas come alive.
This belief guides every detail of Balmann Tree.

Each model is crafted with exceptional realism using Real-Needle foliage and premium materials, designed to become the centrepiece of a sophisticated interior: balanced shapes, rich density, sculpted branches, and colour palettes curated with precision.

This is a tree that doesn’t just sit in a room, it defines it.

A heritage rooted in Alsace and Germany, the birthplace of the Christmas tree

The Christmas tree tradition was born between Alsace and Germany, centuries ago:

  • 1521 – Sélestat, Alsace : first written record of a decorated Christmas tree.

  • 16th century Germany : trees decorated with apples, nuts and candles as symbols of hope and renewal.

  • 17th–18th century : tradition spreads across Alsace, the Black Forest and the Germanic regions.

  • 19th century : the Christmas tree becomes a central symbol of European Christmas celebrations.

This cultural heritage is what inspires Balmann, a brand shaped by the lands where the Christmas tree was born, at the heart of half-timbered houses, winter markets, and festive traditions more than five centuries old.

Balmann brings this heritage into modern design, creating trees that, above all, honour history.

A promise of wonder

At Balmann, the Christmas tree is more than a decoration. It is the heart of the tradition, a presence that transforms a home and brings the spirit of Christmas to life.

We create trees that feel as real as possible, with the presence and beauty of a natural tree, so that families can experience that sense of wonder every day. For children and adults alike, the tree becomes a place to gather, to dream and to rediscover the magic of Christmas year after year.
