Behind the Name: The Essence of Compendia

When creating our brand, we wanted a name that captured both our mission and philosophy. After much thought, we chose Compendia.

Derived from the Latin word compendium — meaning a concise collection of knowledge — the name reflects our aim to curate the best of culture, design, travel, and sustainable living into an accessible and meaningful form.

In a world overflowing with information, we believe there’s beauty in clarity and curation. Just as a compendium distills complexity into something clear and valuable, we strive to create content that informs, inspires, and endures without overwhelming.

The name also sparks curiosity. It invites readers and collaborators to explore deeper, discover hidden gems, and connect with stories that matter. Each guide, article, and project we publish is designed to be both practical and timeless, serving as a trusted reference point for today and tomorrow.

At its core, Compendia stands for more than content — it stands for community, connection, and collaboration. Our name is a reminder of our commitment: to bring together knowledge, stories, and people in ways that enrich everyday life.
