The word Behopu is coming from the first letters of the words Beautiful-Honest-Pure which are the main values of BEHOPUSTUDIO and it’s related with Plato’s Good-True-Beautiful. Beautiful stands for elegant design, Honest for the fact that the form serves the function with only the necessary elements, Pure for simplicity and humbleness of forms and use of natural materials.
