Mrs. Asadollahi is a master artisan in the rare and refined craft of wheat straw marquetry, skillfully applying this eco-conscious technique on both wood and copper surfaces. Drawing from centuries-old traditions, she breathes new life into this nearly forgotten art form by using humble wheat stems to create luminous, golden-toned inlay designs that reflect both precision and passion.

Unlike conventional marquetry that uses expensive hardwoods or shell inlays, Mrs. Asadollahi’s choice of natural wheat straw infuses her work with a unique sense of warmth, light, and authenticity. Each of her creations is not only visually captivating, but also environmentally friendly—aligning perfectly with the growing global appreciation for sustainable, handcrafted art.

Her meticulous process begins with the careful selection and manual preparation of straw. Each stem is flattened, sorted by tone, and hand-cut into fine pieces that are then delicately arranged into intricate patterns, cultural motifs, or symbolic imagery. Her artworks range from decorative wooden panels and copper trays to bespoke mixed-media designs, each reflecting a deep reverence for craftsmanship and nature.

Over the years, Mrs. Asadollahi has become a cultural ambassador for this endangered form of art, helping to raise awareness about natural-material marquetry and its capacity to merge tradition with modern aesthetics. She regularly collaborates with other artisans and participates in exhibitions aimed at preserving and promoting handmade heritage.

Through her dedication to wheat straw marquetry—particularly on copper—Mrs. Asadollahi not only preserves a rare artistic heritage, but also redefines what sustainable beauty can look like in the modern world.
