Authentic “skate” or “shagreen,”(stingray/shark skin,) was first showcased in the luxury good markets by French Art Deco and Mid Century artisans. Michelle's custom “Skatemoderne” furniture and home accessory line perfectly imitates the pebbly texture and ethereal quality of the real skins without harming any sea creatures. It is lacquered for durability, comes in any color, is water–resistant and the “skins” can be designed in any pattern.
