ABOUT US

Polar Embassy is a playful publishing house in Berlin.

We are fully transparent with our European supply chain and spotlight queer & trans* artists.

85% of our artists are LGBTQ, and 77% are FLINTA.

Hi! I'm Jon, your Polar Ambassador.

In 2020, I illustrated a deck of Tarot cards for my best friend as a Christmas present. She suggested I self-publish it, and Polar Embassy was born.

Since then, Polar Embassy has grown into an independent publishing house with a focus on sustainability and sex-positive education.

We work with local printers, especially those with Cradle to Cradle certification, to reduce our footprint as much possible, and open-source our supply chain.
