Just a very few of Jeremy Kimchi's amazing and beautifully crafted one of a kind works of functional art. As can be seen, each cabinet is a fine woodworking creation.
1. Sleek and Curvy Chest of
Drawers
Dimensions: 130 cm tall X 65 cm wide X 45 cm deep
Materials: Mapa burl, maple, plywood and paint
This cabinet really tests the limits of curvature within the
framework of a functional chest of drawers. The
sumptuous burl figure of the mapa drawer fronts is
dramatically spotlighted by the red hue of the cabinet.
2. Lady’s Chest
Dimensions: 110 cm x 47 cm x 120 cm high
Materials: Bubinga, wenge and maple
This chest was designed to be used for a woman’s intimate clothing.
The bas-relief carving was created separately, then carefully sliced
into appropriate sections which were then applied to the fronts of
the drawers. The style of the piece is what Kimchi refers to as “neoprimitivism”.
“This is definitely a direction which I intend to explore further.”
- Kimchi
3. Yin And Yang Wavy Cabinets
Dimensions: 220 cm x 45 cm x 230 cm high (entire composition)
Materials: Cherry, maple and purple heart
These pieces were technically quite challenging to construct.
The wavy walls were created in specially made laminating jigs.
Getting all the pieces to meet properly was a good exercise in
geometry. The drawers have finger pulls incorporated into the carved
motif. Ideal spacing between the two cabinets is determined by the
inlay on the drawer fronts.
