Company Profile

Parquet by Dian was founded by Anatoli Efros nearly 50 years ago with the goal of producing the finest wood floors in the world. Taking his extensive knowledge of woodworking and forestry, he developed a revolutionary wood floor construction, which is superior to any wood flooring made to date. Eliminating the tongue and groove, as well as numerous trade secrets and patents, allows Parquet By Dian to manufacture floors that have no limitations in design and provides clients with a floor that is stable year round and is able to withstand extreme conditions.

The design has proven itself over the years. It is easy to make claims, but the saying “time will tell”, is very accurate in this case. Even though Parquet By Dian manufactures floors for 1000’s of projects every year, there has never been a claim on any floor we have manufactured.

All the floors are still made by hand in the United States. All the lumber is still hand sorted for grade and color to our customer’s specification and milled by us, in our factory for each project. This attention to detail allows the unique color consistency that only Parquet By Dian can provide. The goal of each floor that is manufactured by Parquet By Dian is perfection. That is why the most discriminating clients from across the world consistently request Parquet By Dian to design and manufacture floors for their projects.

Founder Anatoli Efros

The founder of Parquet by Dian, Anatoli Efros, was born in Kiev in 1941. In addition to a Bachelor’s degree in lumber cutting and several other specialized degrees, Anatoli also earned a master’s degree in woodworking technology. Shortly after finishing his master’s degree, he was invited to work in the Ukrainian Woodworking Ministry, overseeing the production of wooden components for the construction industry.

Only three months after starting his position, he was given the opportunity to oversee the construction of the Ukrainian Palace of Congress. He was given the task of manufacturing all the wooden components, including the doors, windows, moldings, wall panels, ceiling panels, furniture and parquet floors.

The project lasted two years and involved the unique task of developing new products like fire resistant particle board, fire resistant plywood, specially treated lumber and decorative parquet in pre-assembled panels.

In 1970 he was appointed the Scientific Secretary of the Woodworking Scientific Technical Society of the Ukraine. At that time, he invented a new construction and method of production of decorative pre-assembled parquet, manufactured in high volume and industrially installed.

In 1973, the government of the USSR, appointed him the Chief parquet specialist of the USSR. His duties involved technical development for the parquet industry, creation of new products, technologies, environmental standards, etc…

In 1975, Anatoli Efros immigrated to the USA. In 1977, his dreams were realized, when he opened his company, manufacturing parquet flooring. The goal of this company was to manufacture the flooring he developed in the USSR and finally allow it to be purchased by the general public. Over the years, he created many original designs, which are featured in Parquet By Dian’s Anatoli Collection. He was instrumental in the development of new equipment, tooling, adhesives and finishes, which have now created what is unequivocally recognized as the finest wood flooring system in the world. Parquet By Dian’s products have been awarded almost every industry award, including many NWFA Floor of the Year honors.
