Why Bengale

A name that stands out and makes a splash! Fireworks and tigers!

But that's not all... even though we've never set foot there, one place has always fascinated us: the world's largest delta, where the sacred Ganges River flows into the Indian Ocean. Endemic animal species, the power of water, and finally, the most impressive giant ship graveyard, where small hands dismantle the world's largest cargo ships. An extraordinary region where the beauty of a unique ecosystem mingles with the degeneration of the modern world... That's the origin of our studio's name: Bengale.
