A&Co. Pens, a luxury atelier from Pune, India known for its handcrafted artistic fountain pens, will be showcasing its creations at the Chennai Pen Show 2026, marking the brand’s first participation in the city’s growing community of writing instrument collectors and enthusiasts.
To commemorate its debut in Chennai, A&Co. Pens will unveil a special fountain pen created in reverence to the revered Tamil poet philosopher Thiruvalluvar, author of the timeless literary masterpiece Thirukkural. The pen features an artistic interpretation inspired by the iconic statue of Thiruvalluvar and celebrates the enduring legacy of Tamil wisdom, literature and philosophy.
The Chennai showcase will also mark the unveiling of two new collections from the brand:
• A&Co. Eminence Collection – a series of finely crafted fountain pens that celebrate distinction and refined craftsmanship.
• A&Co. Regalia Collection – a collection inspired by heritage, symbolism and regal design aesthetics.
Each A&Co. pen is created as a functional work of art, combining traditional craftsmanship with artistic storytelling, and is designed for collectors who appreciate both fine writing instruments and cultural narratives.
Speaking about the showcase, Nasir Shaikh, Founder of A&Co. Pens, said “Chennai has a rich literary and cultural heritage, and we felt it was only fitting to present a pen inspired by Thiruvalluvar at our first appearance here. Through this piece, we hope to celebrate not only the art of writing, but also the timeless wisdom that writing preserves.”
Visitors to the Chennai Pen Show will have the opportunity to view and experience A&Co.’s handcrafted fountain pens in Hall No. 3 – Stall 10 and 11, including the special Thiruvalluvarinspired piece and the newly introduced Eminence and Regalia collections amongst the other signature collections from A&Co. Pens.
