Today, Helena proudly produces a large collection of elegant products in a 14,000 m² enclosed area. The brand also fulfills custom orders and produces special projects for individual clients. Most products are exported to the Middle East, Europe, and America. Helena strives to serve its customers as best as possible 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. Cutting these pieces into linear segments creates geometric heads for 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 on the product, giving it a unique appearance. Additionally, inlays of mother-of-pearl, silver, and brass strings embellish these items. The mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and fitted piece by piece and elegantly inlaid on the objects, allowing one to see and feel the shine and depth of the mother-of-pearl. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out with the combination of natural walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handcrafted items are meant to enhance and showcase the brand's products to the world.
