Price History
Description
This attractive Ngari outdoor light has a classic design. We love how it looks beside a doorway or use to light a courtyard or other interesting outside space.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Ngari outdoor light for its vintage brass finish and practical yet stylish design. It works well in both traditional and rustic garden settings or on a patio with a mix of natural textures. The antique brass adds warm, understated sophistication and pairs nicely with greenery or wooden features. When styling with this light, consider placing it near seating areas or along pathways to create a welcoming glow. It’s best combined with exposed bulbs or vintage filament styles for an authentic look. Practical tip: ensure it’s positioned at a height that maximises illumination without glaring, and use it to highlight architectural features or outdoor furniture.

About Nkuku
The Story of Nkuku
Inspired by the artisans they met during a world trip in 2002, Ali and Alex established Nkuku, a brand that celebrates handmade techniques and traditional skills from artisans across the world.
The journey began with a business plan drafted on a beach, with the name "Nkuku" taken from a Zambian village they passed.
Starting in Devon, they initially sold products from their travels at local markets. Eventually, Nkuku transitioned from a wholesale business to a known retail brand, offering a wide range of homewares, from tableware to furniture.
Values and Ethical Commitment
Nkuku is not just about selling products; it's about values. They are committed to an ethical approach, partnering with independent businesses, social projects, and cooperatives. Their focus? Building transparent, strong relationships with suppliers to ensure mutual success.
They're also environmentally conscious, incorporating natural and recycled materials into their products. From golden hemp and reclaimed mango wood to textiles recycled from old t-shirts, Nkuku champions sustainability and eco-friendly production methods.
Sustainability at Its Heart
Every Nkuku product tells a tale, capturing the essence of traditional, handmade craftsmanship. By embracing low-impact production methods, they bring collections that are individually crafted, ensuring each piece is unique.
The brand cherishes the age-old knowledge passed down through generations of artisans. It's not just about home décor for them; it's about keeping a rich heritage alive and celebrating the beauty of handmade uniqueness.
