The Ethereal Drinks Cabinet and Bar Console form a sculptural diptych that continues Marc Fish’s exploration into the poetics of material, form, and atmosphere. Each piece in the Ethereal series straddles the worlds of contemporary design and fine art, and together these works function as both furniture and spatial sculpture—delicate yet assertive, minimal yet deeply expressive.

The drinks cabinet, wall-mounted and almost floating, evokes the lightness of marine life or unfolding petals. Paired below, the Ethereal Bar Console anchors the installation. At first glance, it appears to stand impossibly on a single, sweeping leg. This illusion is intentional—the console is discretely fixed to the wall, giving the impression of a form captured mid-motion, like a ribbon frozen in a graceful arc. The cantilevered structure twists elegantly at its center, demonstrating technical mastery in laminated timber and challenging perceptions of balance and support.

Together, the cabinet and bar create a dialogue between containment and gesture, between fluid curves and crisp precision. The pale sycamore is chosen not only for its working qualities but for its almost weightless appearance, lending the pieces a sense of calm and spatial openness. The integration of resin mesh into the cabinet doors adds a ghostlike translucency, reinforcing the series' central theme: the illusion of weightlessness and the transformation of solid material into something seemingly ephemeral.

As with all of Marc Fish’s works, these pieces are not only resolved in form but are underpinned by a deep knowledge of traditional craft, innovative materials, and sustainable methods. For collectors, they offer an intersection of sculptural elegance and daily utility—timeless statements that elevate the spaces they inhabit while remaining rooted in craftsmanship of the highest order.
