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

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

The art of wooden mosaic involves combining different types of wood; from walnut, beech, lemon, olive, rose, mahogany, and other trees. These pieces are cut into linear segments to create geometric heads for each piece. In an artistic arrangement, the brand combines these pieces to form a single thick, beautiful head. The thick piece of wood is cut horizontally into round slices. These slices are inlaid onto the product, giving it a unique appearance. Additionally, inlays of mother-of-pearl, silver, and brass cords embellish these items. Mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and matched piece by piece and elegantly inlaid onto the items, allowing one to see and feel the brilliance and depth of the mother-of-pearl. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out with the combination of walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handicrafts are designed to enhance and showcase Helena's creations to the world.
