Benu's story began in January 2016 when the co-founders, Alex Semanin and Kate Dmitrieva, decided to join forces to set up? Right from the start, the aim was clear: to make writing instruments and desk accessories for these who prefer bright colors and new designs that are playful, stylish and fun.

Alex Semanin and Kate Dmitrieva first worked together in the fine watch industry where both of them launched multiple successful projects over last 10 years. Alex graduated from the St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts in 1996 and then spent over 10 years in the decorative arts and jewelry design and production. In 2007 Alex joined the largest Russian manufacture of jewelry watches and accessories as Chief Designer and in 2 years became the Director of Product Development and Innovation. Under Alex's supervision the company successful launched several collections of gold & silver writing instrument, accessories and watches.

Alex particularly enjoyed his involvement in pen design and production and decided to create his own line of writing instruments. At that moment, Kate was working as General Manager for a Russian company producing and marketing high-end mechanical watches and clocks. Being herself a great admirer of the art of creating fountain pens, in 2016 Kate decided to join Alex in creating and launching a new brand of writing pens and accessories.

Benu - the ancient Egyptian deity linked with the sun, creation and rebirth. Periodically renewing itself like the sun, Benu is a symbol of constant changes, recurrence, renovations. The name reflects the company founder's feelings about the history of writing instruments. Changing throughout centuries, in today's digital world handwriting has become more of an art, than a communication tool.

Moreover, an expensive and stylish pen becomes not only a tool, but also an important accessory. A beautiful pen is a status symbol that reflects the personal taste of its owner. The art of writing is reinvented and redefined again.

BENU fountain pens are designed and handcrafted in the company's own Moscow-based production facilities in Russia. Each part of the pens is made in house, except for nibs, ink cartridges and convertors.

A broad and vivid color palette is the key characteristic of the BENU collection. The designers and artisans take great care to create materials of vibrant colors and diverse textures.
