BENU is a creative brand of writing instruments and accessories from Armenia. Its story began in January 2016, when Co-Founders Alex Semanin and Kate Dmitrieva joined forces to bring a new artistic concept to life. Right from the start, the aim was clear — to make writing instruments and desk accessories for those who prefer bold, bright colors and new designs that are playful, stylish and fun. Both Alex and Kate have experience in fine watch, jewelry and home décor markets, launching multiple successful projects over the last 15 years. Being great admirers of the art of creating fountain pens, they decided to create BENU — a new brand of writing pens and accessories.
