WOOD ENCHANTMENT

"A JOURNEY IN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DESIGN"

My passion for woodcraft has always been more than just a career—it’s an art form that allows me to transform spaces into experiences. Starting in the heart of Damascus in the 1990s, I learned the foundations of custom woodworking, overseeing intricate joinery and bespoke furniture that fused traditional craftsmanship with modern needs. These early years shaped my approach, where every project became a canvas for creativity.

From the timeless elegance of walnut wood at the Najd Hotel to the precise maple finishes in the Qatar University New College of Engineering, each project has allowed me to explore wood’s natural beauty. In every space, from educational buildings to luxury hotels, wood is more than a material—it’s a design statement.

At the Al Ain VVIP Rest House, I had the privilege of guiding intricate wood carvings, blending opulence with cultural depth. Similarly, my work in the Amiri Diwan Annex brought refined sophistication through custom wooden elements, elevating the grandeur of Qatar's governmental spaces.

One of my proudest achievements is the fit-out at Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi, where meticulous attention to wooden finishes helped create an atmosphere of luxury, showcasing the harmony between tradition and innovation.

Each piece of wood in my projects tells a story, and my journey has always been about bringing that story to life through detail, design, and expert craftsmanship. Wood Enchantment is not just about fit-out; it’s about creating environments where beauty meets functionality, where every grain of wood enhances the essence of the space.
