L'Orchidée project

The piece, L'Orchidée pulls influence from Louis Majorelle's desk of the same name displayed in the Musee d' Orsay in Paris, France. Marc Fish's piece, like Majorelle's at the time, uses some groundbreaking techniques utilising design research and experimentation, it's design and construction features meticulous refinement – not least the seamless tambour roll top and aluminium drawers

The tambour roll top appears to be a solid piece of wood however it is veneered canvas layered upon strips of wood, a technique like this has never been used before and the results are quite astonishing.

Marc believes that it is only through looking deeply into nature and the natural environment that design can reach its full potential. Design should be stimulating, excite the senses and an expression of the designer's beliefs and his deep understanding of the very materials he uses.

Several elements of its design, thought impossible, have been made possible by sheer determination and endless research and testing. Numerous models were made of the piece before the final life-size working model could be constructed and fine-tuned.
