The Rachel Winham x Forwood Design collaboration celebrates refined craftsmanship and timeless design. Both Henry Forwood and Rachel Winham share a deep passion for creating interiors that combine luxury, functionality, and enduring beauty. Their partnership has led to a bespoke collection that captures the essence of modern British elegance for discerning homeowners and interior designers alike.
The collection features beautifully crafted photo frames, treasure boxes, trays, coasters, placemats, and tissue boxes available in three signature shades — Dune, Midnight, and Linen. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, blending Rachel’s herringbone detailing with Henry’s signature faux shagreen finish. The result is a modern take on traditional materials, merging organic texture with sophisticated form.
Henry Forwood, a pioneer in sustainable design, developed his faux shagreen using resin to emulate the natural texture of stingray skin without harm to animals. He explains, “I liked shagreen because of its texture and ability to take colour well. I won’t use the real thing, so I created a method to replicate it ethically.”
Functionality meets artistry in every piece. The treasure boxes, lined with suede and finished in faux shagreen, are ideal for storing remote controls or keepsakes. The serving trays—available in large and small sizes—add elegance to any tablescape, while coasters and placemats complete the setting. The vanity trays with mirrored bases and photo frames in 7”x5” and 8”x10” sizes make perfect finishing touches for any room.
This collaboration thrives on shared values: a love of texture, colour, and comfort. Rachel’s impeccable sense of tone inspired the creation of the subtle Dune shade — developed through custom sanding and colour testing by Henry. Together, they have built a collection that perfectly embodies “approachable luxury” — where design, quality, and craftsmanship coexist beautifully.
Since launching her Hampstead showroom, Rachel Winham Interior Design has become synonymous with elegant, livable spaces. Partnering with Forwood Design has allowed both brands to explore new creative dimensions while offering clients sustainable, luxury home accessories that are as practical as they are inspiring.
