Desert Canyon Sculpted Coffee Table
Dimensions: 150 cm x 90 cm x 40 cm high
Materials: Mahogany wood, glass
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.
