English designer Marc Fish started making contemporary furniture more than 15 years ago. With a background in metal fabrication, the choice of material for his first project surprised no one - steel. From this material he made 6 table chairs. But the project, with both good and not so good reviews, was the start of his journey into the world of furniture.
From metal objects to exclusive wooden furniture designer
A few years later, after studying with leading representatives of English fine furniture and participating in various competitions and being rewarded with prizes, Marc Fish is internationally recognized as an important furniture designer and manufacturer. He works in wood, combined with glass and metal, and his work is outstanding.
Marc's passion is unique and exclusive pieces. He draws inspiration from natural forms, art, sculpture and architecture. He works with the finest veneers and exquisite wood and the fact that he originally worked with metal makes him very attentive to detail and sets him apart from the average wood furniture maker.
Marc now lectures on furniture making, writes articles for Furniture & Cabinets Making Magazine and creates unique furniture.
The divine proportion of the Nautilus coffee table
The Nautilus table is one of the most beautiful coffee tables ever created. It has been made in limited editions since 2011, when the Nautilis I was made. In 2015 the Nautilis V was launched, also in limited edition.
The design of the table is inspired by marine life. It is constructed from over 4000 pieces of walnut, rosewood veneer and Japanese paper. It was designed using proportion of gold or the divine proportion used by the ancient Greeks and artists of the Renaissance period in their works. The table reproduces the shell of an ocean snail, and each outer part has been modelled by hand.
