Forwood Design
Husband-and-wife duo Henry and Lesa founded Forwood Design in 2011 from their home in Suffolk. Forever inspired by the beauty of nature, they conceptualise games and accessories centred around the flora and fauna of the great outdoors. A particular point of interest is shagreen, a type of leather typically from a stingray that Henry fondly remembers seeing in his grandmother’s collection of objects and mementos. So, when he mastered mould-making in the 1990s, he made it his mission to produce a pliable sheet of resin shagreen so realistic it would rival the real thing – and achieve that he certainly did.
