Benton Edelweiss – BENU

DESCRIPTION

Most people will recognize the word “edelweiss” from the famous 1965 musical romance, Sound of Music. However, this small, non-toxic noble plant, with its snow-white leaves and star-shaped inflorescence, is often associated with certain myths related to proving one’s worth and discovering true love. Also believed to contain magical powers, historically this unique flower was used as incense to drive away evil spirits from farms and homes. Discover a world of tales that claim to shed light on the origins of this potent plant by reading the full-length inspiration story HERE.

Drawing inspiration from certain tales of yore, we set out to convey these stories not only in the color and style of each pen, but by actually infusing Edelweiss’ dried petals into each pen’s material. Watch our video to see how it was done and learn beautiful stories that inspired the design of the pen.
