Chessboard made of wood - Helena Woodart

Exceptional and exquisite design combined with natural wood and mother-of-pearl inlay creates the image of Helena Wood Art. This is a tribute to handcrafted craftsmanship, tradition, and a multi-generational approach to brand creation. A meticulous production process demonstrates what true handmade work looks like. All these aspects give the family business from Turkey great recognition worldwide.

HELENA WOOD ART is one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of furniture and game boards with over 30 years of experience in handcrafted woodwork. 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 then transformed into a family business. Today, Helena proudly produces a large collection of luxury products on a 14,000 m² enclosed 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, 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. The mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and fitted piece by piece, then elegantly inlaid into the objects, allowing one to see and feel the shine and depth of the mother-of-pearl. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out for their combination of natural walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handcrafted items are designed to enhance and showcase Helena’s craftsmanship to the world.
