Marc Fish, Artist

Marc Fish creates sculptural pieces that push the limits of contemporary furniture making, blurring the boundaries between design, sculpture and furniture. Fish’s studio is world renowned for the use of veneer as its sole raw material, and his work demonstrates an extensive mastery of the most refined practices in micro stack-lamination. Each piece uses the finest veneers and natural finishes, from gold to squid ink. Initially inspired by the curvilinear forms of Art Nouveau, more recently he has explored the Victorian obsession with natural history. Fish has exhibited worldwide, and created works for international collectors, private clients and interior designers.

“I have a passion for creating one-off pieces, or short series, drawing on my knowledge of craftsmanship and modern design processes. My works possess a timelessness that enables them to sit comfortably in the most contemporary of settings and the more traditional.”
