CushCush successfully developed technique of crafting faux shagreen that looks and feels similar to the real skin. There are numerous meticulous steps and techniques used in the process of crafting the faux-shagreen skin, much the same with the age-old techniques used for real shagreen. CushCush pays tribute to Nature’s most precious skin in Pari faux-shagreen tray by highlighting this age-old skill with contemporary design, inspired by the elegant form and distinctive (pearl) texture of the stingrays. Studying the same moulding technique used in Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman, the complex-curve form of Pari faux-shagreen tray took 2 years of exploration and perfecting, before the faux-shagreen is inlayed.
