About.
Born in 1988 in Malmö, Sweden, Emmeli Kimhi’s artistic journey was shaped by a childhood immersed in creativity and craftsmanship. Raised by her antique-dealer father, she spent weekends in scenic Österlen exploring vibrant countryside markets, cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit and an eye for the unique.
Her stepmother, an artist, opened her studio to Emmeli, fostering a passion for creation and aquarelle techniques. A year studying textiles in a rural Swedish Hamlet, Sköldinge deepened her craft, laying the groundwork for a career in the London Fashion scene.
In 2008, Emmeli arrived in London to pursue a BA in Fashion Design Technology at UAL. During this time she was selected for an internship at GILES where she spent a summer crafting insects with Swarovski crystals for their RTW show in Paris. After graduating she worked in a digital role at House of Holland working closely with Henry Holland on campaigns and digital projects for seven years.
With these experiences under her belt, during the 2020 pandemic lockdown she turned to crafting paper flowers. Her early influences of Swedish folk art and textiles, with later experience in the London fashion industry, moulded her newly developed craft of flower sculpture.
Her flower sculptures were soon picked up by The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House and featured in the Financial Times, House and Garden, The Telegraph and others.
Emmeli is now renowned for bespoke commissions and transformative installations that redefine luxury spaces. Her work, crafted from hand dyed and hand painted crepe paper, each piece a study in mood and finesse, has attracted established well-known clients such as Manolo Blahnik, Jo Malone, Disney and Lulu Guiness as well as cultural icons such as Richard E Grant, Helena Bonham Carter and Mary McCartney.
Based in North London, Emmeli continues to innovate, crafting works that captivate and elevate.
Her art is not just seen—it is felt.
