In the 1990s, Henry started to work with resin as an alternative material to wood. Through this work and over a number of years, he developed the skills of mould making. Combined with a knowledge of chemistry, he was able to produce a pliable sheet of resin shagreen that was so realistic that it was difficult to distinguish from the real thing.
Shagreen
Collection: Shagreen
Shagreen leather is a product from shark or stingrays. The leather has always been a part of Henry Forwood’s life: his grandmother was always a collector of past family mementos and objects. A number of these were made with, or packed in, exquisite shagreen leather.
