Our story

A family workshop in Gemer — and everything here still passes through our hands.

We are Dominika and Miklós. We met at university in Košice, and when we started a family we came home to the Rimavská Sobota district, where work is not easy to find. In January 2024 we bought a small laser engraver and began making things out of wood. The machine rarely gets a rest — and the hand work that follows it never stops.

The two wings
“A dragonfly has two pairs of wings, and they only carry it forward together. One of ours makes tools that help children learn; the other makes the gift you hand to a client, a colleague, or someone you love.”

The two hold each other steady: when one side is quiet, the other keeps the workshop busy. That is also why a single engraved box gets the same attention here as an order of several thousand. And we would rather the work stayed in the region — this is a part of the country with few jobs, so as we grow we want the workshop to support more than one family.

Cut by machine, finished by hand

The laser does the cutting; everything after it is us. Each piece is sanded individually until it is smooth, splinter-free and good to hold — on a large order, tens of hours of hand work after the machine has stopped.

Engraved to 0.1 mm

We engrave your logo or a name into natural wood to a tenth of a millimetre, so the fine detail is still sharp years from now.

One piece, or several thousand

Our own workshop runs to around 10,000 pieces a month, and together with partner workshops we can take considerably more. Design, engraving, invoicing and delivery all stay in one place.

One tree, two gifts.

Beech is the quiet root of everything we make. Dense and pale, its fine grain takes a laser engraving crisply and keeps the detail sharp for years. We build the box, fill it with honey, mead and chocolate from Slovak producers, and engrave a logo or a name on it — representative enough for a client, personal enough for someone you love.

For a company, a wooden gift carrying your logo stays on the desk long after the season and quietly builds your brand all year — and in Slovakia, kept under the promotional-item threshold, it stays a sensible gift on paper too. Your accountant will know how the rule applies in your country.
