Why Antipodes + Co. ? //

Antipodes+Co. was born with our founder’s dream to connect cultures (from what might be “opposite ends”) of the world through creativity and design, inspired by her travels, conversations and time spent in Qatar. We hope that each purchase,  presented as a gift or one to add to your personal collection, will ignite cross-cultural conversations to become a "foreign made familiar".

Antipode noun
an·​ti·​pode | \ˈan-tə-ˌpōd \
plural antipodes\ an-​ˈti-​pə-​ˌdēz \

The word Antipode first appeared in a translation of a Latin text as a word designating "men that have their feet against our feet," that is, inhabitants of the opposite side of the globe. The word, which originated in Greek, combines anti-, meaning "opposite," with the root pod-, meaning "foot."
