Our Name
The beauty of Beleco
Esperanto is a language that was invented in the late 1800s to foster harmony and communication between different cultures. We chose the name Beleco (“beautiful” in Esperanto) because we believe that life is beautiful and each of its stories deserves a beautiful, harmonious environment. We try to embody this spirit to create designs that can transcend cultures and invite better communication, understanding and peace.
