Fortem
wood art-crafts by Mehran Amirpour
Fortem is designed to be a place where a variety of wood-related arts come together as products you can buy, courses you can take to make your own handcrafts and even a place to explore the wood world and get to know more of wood.
Fortem has two parts: one introduced here as "Fortem" and the other known as "Fortem_Art" which is on YouTube and includes piano pieces and performances.
certificates
Mehran learned wood-related arts over a period of 8 years, during which he earned certificates in three fields: fine woodworking, marquetry, and line inlay marquetry. He also ran his own workshop, where he created and sold his wooden masterpieces, and obtained an identification card for the workshop valid for one year
Workshops
In past years, Mehran taught the art of wood marquetry to 30 school students in a three-month class. He also held a four-day workshop at Shahid Beheshti University to familiarize the university and its students with marquetry and wood-related arts.
Marquetry COLLECTION
Wood marquetry is an art in which different varieties of wood with different colors are cut and placed precisely to form a picture made of wood. What matters most is choosing the best combination of colors and using unique and valuable woods. Fortem wood marquetry pieces have both qualities and are truly stunning.
Stands & accessories COLLECTION
At Fortem, we offer a wide range of beautifully designed accessories and decorative stands. Crafted not only from wood but also from brass and steel, our pieces can even be custom-made in gold or silver. Whatever is on your mind now can be crafted and brought to life — ready to be showcased in your home.
Line inlay Marquetry COLLECTION
At Fortem, we transform the art of calligraphy into wood through the delicate craft of line-inlay marquetry. Each board captures the elegance of hand-drawn lines — as if calligraphed in wood — creating pieces that are both unique and timeless.
