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 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 accepts custom orders and creates special projects for individual clients. Most products are exported to the Middle East, Europe, and America. Helena makes every effort to serve its customers as best as possible without compromising 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. The 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 adorns these items. The mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and fitted piece by piece, then elegantly inlaid into the objects to showcase its 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.
