Marc Fish; a Nautilus table
Marc Fish, a Nautilus table, signed, dated 2011, 1 of 2, the carved sycamore shell form top with Japanese paper segments on metal supports, with a shaped glass top, 45cm high, 189cm wide, 150cm deep
Provenance: Lamberty Art & Design, selected items from the storages.
Marc Fish, who runs Robinson House Studio in Sussex, is known for his daring combinations of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The intricate Nautilus Table is no exception. The shell below the shaped top is composed of 4000 individual pieces of sycamore veneer, which together follow the classical proportions of the Golden Ratio. This process of 'micro stack-lamination' using veneer as a primary raw material is a trademark feature of designs produced by Robinson House Studio. The theme of the Nautilus shell is part of Fish's ongoing exploration of the Victorian obsession with natural history.
Marc Fish's pieces have been exhibited at international fairs including Masterpiece, Design Miami and the Armory fair, New York.
Another edition of the design was sold at Christie's South Kensington, Aynhoe Park - A Modern Grand Tour, 9 October 2012, lot 46.
