Other Kingdom was founded in 2015 by Avantika Agarwal, Jess Fügler, and Tino Seubert. The three met on the Design Products course at the Royal College of Art in London where they discovered their shared passion for exploring materials, playing with colour, and engaging in production.
After graduating Avantika moved back to Bangalore to open her own studio, Jess returned to New York to become Studio Director for Matter Made, and Tino stayed in London to continue his own studio practice. With the help of technology, especially Skype, we are able to work around the world and keep our shared passions together to build Other Kingdom. Here's a chance to learn more about each of the founders outside our collective.
