Timeless mosaic woodwork

The private business of Franc Demšar has preserved the tradition of real mosaic woodwork for many years. It continues the story of a grandmother’s casket, mother’s chest of drawers, aunt’s sowing machine, grandfather’s accordion and brother’s guitar – giving them a new lustre.

Up to 200 pieces of wood in every centimetre

The rhythmical arrangement of annual rings in wood is a reflection of life. Tiny patterns repeating rhythmically within mosaic intarsia underscore the beauty of life.

Wooden products with a soul

The same way tiny birds instill life into a treetop, the fine mosaic intarsias evoke a feeling of uniqueness and preciousness into wooden items.

No need for a tablecloth

Our products are a delight to many eyes. A table with marquetry simply needs no tablecloth.

Clocks with mosaic woodwork

Every clock is different and unique in its entirety. Since it is made of wood, it is extremely light, and has the added benefit of being equipped with a top-of-the-line quartz mechanism and aluminum hands. The inspiration for the “Little Bird” line of clocks was taken from the traditional clock shape, characterized by a semi-circular addition at its top.

Furniture with mosaic intarsias

How to recognise a true mosaic intarsia? A crucial element of a quality intarsia is the aspiration towards absolute perfection, from the very beginning: its careful planning, adapting it for the product itself by carefully choosing the wood combinations, shades and paying attention to the way the wood grew. And in the end, a great deal of manual work and a feel for details are key in tying it all together.

Useful items with mosaic intarsia

Intarsia is a detail that ennobles every item, from a series of clocks and caskets with intarsia, notepads with a wooden jacket with intarsia incorporated into it, to other useful wooden products.

Wood is intarsia –  Intarsia is a story.

Intarsia is much more than an embellishment

Intarsia is much more than an embellishment

Our mosaic intarsias discover the secret of wood anew – only by being joined with other types of wood does it shine in all its colours, light, warmth and duskiness. A wooden mosaic creates the story of intarsia, characterised by its energy and beauty.
