The Shagreen Collection by Forwood Design celebrates a material steeped in history and admired for its distinct character. Shagreen has an almost pebbled surface texture that has symbolised luxury since the 16th century, when Jean-Claude Galuchat introduced it to Europe. Cherished by figures such as Madame de Pompadour and revived during the Art Deco era, shagreen continues to captivate with its rich depth and elegance.
At Forwood Design, Henry Forwood has developed his own signature faux shagreen—sustainable, cruelty-free, and crafted to mirror the tactile beauty of the original. Each piece combines traditional artistry with modern sensibility, making it perfect for homeowners and interior designers seeking refined, ethical design.
The collection includes trays, mirrors, photo frames, barware, lighting, desk sets, and backgammon boards—each accented with brass or stainless steel for a polished finish. Blending history, craftsmanship, and contemporary style, the Shagreen Collection adds warmth, texture, and understated luxury to every interior.
