HELENA WOOD ART is one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of furniture and game boards with over 30 years of experience in wood craftsmanship. In 1987, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Davut Kazar, a workshop was established to produce mosaic and mother-of-pearl inlay. Initially operating as a general partnership until 1998, it was then transformed into a family business. Today, Helena proudly produces a large collection of stylish products on a 14,000 m² enclosed area. The brand also accepts custom orders and creates special projects for individual clients. Most products are exported to the Middle East, Europe, and America. Helena strives to provide the best service to its customers without compromising on quality.

What is wooden mosaic and mother-of-pearl inlay?

The art of wooden mosaic involves combining different types of wood; walnut, beech, lemon, olive, rosewood, mahogany, and other woods. These pieces are cut into linear segments, creating geometric heads for each piece. Artistically, the brand joins these segments to form a single, thick, beautiful piece. The thick wood piece is cut horizontally into round slices. These slices are inlaid into the product, giving it a unique appearance. Additionally, inlay with mother-of-pearl, silver, and brass cords embellishes these items. Mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and fitted piece by piece, then elegantly inlaid into the objects, allowing the shine and depth of the mother-of-pearl to be seen and felt. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out for their combination of walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handcrafted items are designed to enhance and showcase Helena's craftsmanship to the world.
