HELENA WOOD ART is one of the leading producers 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 exclusive products on a 14,000 m² closed area. The brand also takes 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 others. These pieces are cut into linear segments to create geometric heads of each piece. Artistically, the brand joins these segments to form a single, thick, beautiful piece. A thick piece of wood 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. The mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and fitted piece by piece, then elegantly inlaid into the objects to showcase their shine and depth. 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.
