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 woodcraft. In 1987, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Davut Kazar, a workshop 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 luxury products within a 14,000 m² enclosed area. The brand also fulfils bespoke 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 to the best of its ability 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 of each piece. In an artistic order, the brand combines these pieces to form one 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. The mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and matched piece by piece and elegantly inlaid onto the items, allowing the brilliance and depth of the mother-of-pearl to be seen and felt. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out with the combination of walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handcrafted items are designed to enhance and showcase the brand's creations to the world.
