If you want to really know about us and our philosophy, then understanding why we chose ‘arc-en-ciel’ for our name will help: It’s the French word for rainbow Omega Replica - we spend a lot of time in France. For us it means: Magic, dreams, colour and creativity.

In short, Wordsworth summed it up:
‘My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky.’
It’s a great metaphor for the challenge of life too. Just think: Rain and rainbows ? you don’t get one without the other. At arc-en-ciel, we’ve found that most people have had their greatest learning experiences as a result of ‘rainy times’.
