This end table is a celebration of the swirled form. The interspersed layers of wenge and maple serve to add visual drama and draw attention to the “geological formations” in the piece.

Every once in a while wood artist Jeremy Kimchi will go more than just his usual extra mile. This sculpted table is a case in point. He created the piece for Israel’s second annual fine woodworking expo that was held in the Tel Aviv port, and it was decidedly one of the key attractions at the show.
The base was contructed by gluing together extra thick angled staves, making the joinery for the cross piece, then deeply carving them with the sinuous vertical forms.
The focal point of the piece is the intricately carved tip of the cross piece – where the yin and yang converge.

Here is another example of braking out of the box.
Kimchi enjoys redefining common pieces and adding a naughty twist.

This sculpted coffee table displays a variety of textures which add richness and depth to the geologically inspired forms. The inspiration for this piece of art furniture came from the desert landscape near Kimchi’s home.

The inspiration for this piece of functional wood art came directly from the dramatic desert views seen from Kimchi’s home. The Wadi Kelt (Nachal Prat) canyon cuts a rugged path through the biblical landscape as it winds down from the Jerusalem hills towards the Jordan River and the Dead sea. The “S” shape seen here in this sculpted coffee table represents a particular bend in the canyon directly below the village where Kimchi resides.
The custom made coffee table is constructed of multiple layers of mahogany wood with interlocking joinery which had to be precisely planned and positioned to prevent its being exposed during the carving process.

This “Memphis” style inspired piece adds a touch of playfulness to the game. Each player is equipped with a small, dovetailed drawer to house his chess pieces. Small touches, such as the inlaid butterfly joints on the top, and the padouk tips at the bottom of the legs, serve to round out the composition.

This coffee table is a variation on the theme of the Desert Canyon Sculpted Coffee Table. In this case the emphasis was placed on creating a whole (the oval form) and then cutting negative spaces into it. Upon observation Kimchi later discovered that the negative cut-outs, which were intended for the wood stove, actually had potential to become a dynamic sculpture in their own right. Here the coffee table can be seen both on its own and together with the negative cut-out sculpture.

This fluid-lined piece was created by stack-laminating layers of mahogany pre-cut to rough shape. The block was then sculpted to final form and finely sanded. The protruding tips were then carefully removed, and threaded screws were inserted, passing through the glass. The glass top is thus securely fixed in place, allowing peace of mind when children or grandchildren are about.

The drama of this solid wood coffee table stems from the sheer audacity of its scale. The deluxe apartment for which the piece was designed is immensely spacious and demanded a powerful center piece of designer furniture. The two side tables with matching inlay motifs compliment the coffee table and together with it create an integral composition of living room furnishings.
