THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Karen Harutyunyan
Country: Armenia
"I'm Karen Harutyunyan, a passionate artisan specializing in crafting exquisite wooden backgammon and chess boards. The art of woodworking runs deep in my family, with my father passing down his love for the craft. Motivated by his creations, I am dedicated to continuing to the rich tradition of Armenian wood crafts. Despite facing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 war, we've overcome them and remain optimistic about our collaboration with Novica, aiming to shine a spotlight on the art of craftsmanship. I take pride in being an Armenian artisan with each piece bringing a blend of skill, tradition, and a commitment to showcasing our homeland's heritage.
These boards are not just for games but are unique works of art for display. As I continue my journey in the world of handicrafts, I believe that each creation has a story to tell, and I'm excited about the opportunity, with Novica, to promote appreciation for Armenian craftsmanship.""
