Ethereal Drinks Cabinet. With wall mounted bar / console
Made from sycamore and resin in a very organic sculptural form. Elegant and sinuous the piece shows real grace but also an unequivocal energy. The Ethereal series utilises unique techniques developed solely in Marc Fish's Studio in the UK. His work can be found in private homes in all corners of the globe - the Ethereal series sits well with more traditional furniture or contemporary modern pieces. The Ethereal series is the epitome of innovation from the studio that has become popular among collectors.
The Ethereal furniture is made from Marc's usual laminated veneers, with the important difference that he leaves negative space between them – treating them not as layers within a solid stratigraphy, but as fins within a more open structure. He then pours resin over these delicate, paper-thin armatures. The use of frosting and tinting in the resin produces mesmerizing visual effects, like sunlight through water currents or tree canopies. The principle of visual movement, which has been central to Marc's work for years, is quite literally transformed into another dimension. Having drawn his line and followed it this far, he is now moving beyond, exploring the more elusive and evanescent movements of space itself.
The skills of a craftsman: Perserverance
The Ethereal drinks cabinet doors glide sideways to reveal laminated shelves holding glasses and bottles, each shelf peeling away from the centre upright. The back panel's grain follows the form of this feature and the pattern continues outwards towards the open doors. This single design feature contains 2000 pieces of hand-cut veneer.
