Biography

A Timeless Craft

Sally Najjar is an artist specialized in wood engraving and hand lettering, with more than 20 years of experience in this timeless craft — historically associated with mosque carvings, pulpits, doors and traditional Arabic ornaments. It has long been regarded as an art form that reflects patience, precision, craftsmanship, authenticity, heritage and lasting artistic value.

Sally worked as a Graphic Designer at Elaf London and Zero Four Restaurant, where she gained extensive experience in design and in developing artistic works through a professional approach that combines creativity with visual precision. Since 2018, she has been responsible for the artistic works at AlKofeia, overseeing the execution and development of designs related to the brand.

She transforms words, texts and verses into artistic pieces that reflect the spirit of handcrafted artistry, and creates custom artworks and engravings using CNC techniques — an approach that combines precision and attention to detail. In her work, she blends wood and metal to create pieces that merge authenticity with modernity while preserving artistic and cultural value.

Our story

Words that remain… through art.

قصة البراند

The SALLY NAJJAR brand began with a genuine passion for handcrafts and artistic calligraphy — a practice that has carried artistic value for more than 20 years. From the very beginning, the work has been defined by precision, detail, and a touch that reveals the mark of the craft in every piece.

Over time, the artistic identity grew clearer, bringing together heritage art and a modern style in a calm, refined way. The brand was born to be a reflection of time-honoured art in a contemporary form — highlighting the value of handwork and giving every detail a sense of authenticity and mastery.

Every piece is designed not merely as a work of art, but as a lasting trace that carries meaning and embodies a story that remains and is never forgotten.
