Unique and one of a kind editioned arm chair by world renowned UK woodworker, Marc Fish. This example is edition 5 of 7 of the 'Ethereal' series and the lounge chair is currently the only one of it's kind available for sale. Marc Fish has been a sensation in the world of collectible design for years. His work is internationally recognized throughout the contemporary design space. This example is signed, dated and numbered - exclusively on view and available at our AMERICANA MANHASSET gallery in Long Island, New York.

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 Fish’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 Fish’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.
