Collection: Shagreen

Shagreen has long been prized for its distinctive texture and timeless elegance. Traditionally made from shark or stingray skin, shagreen leather was a symbol of luxury for centuries. At Forwood Design, we honour that legacy with a modern, ethical approach—our handcrafted faux shagreen.

Inspired by childhood memories and antique treasures, our founder developed a resin-based alternative that captures the natural depth and tactile beauty of traditional shagreen. Sustainable, durable, and beautifully detailed, our faux shagreen offers the look and feel of the original—without harm to marine life.

Our faux shagreen is used across a unique collection of luxury furniture and accessories, including serving trays, drinks trays, desk sets, photo frames, wall mirrors, barware, table lamps, backgammon boards, and more. Each piece is artisan-crafted using premium materials and finished with refined touches such as brass or stainless steel trim.

Ideal for homeowners and interior designers alike, these designs add texture, warmth, and understated sophistication to any room. Whether you're styling a living space or sourcing elegant accent pieces, Forwood Design's faux shagreen brings classic luxury with a modern conscience.
