Description
Our Abe upholstered chairs are timeless classics with a twist, the deconstructed back and sides reveals a natural mango wood frame and hemp lining. The front of each chair is upholstered in a tactile and calm stone or charcoal coloured linen. These beautifully crafted pieces make a subtle and elegant addition to a living room or bedroom. | nkuku Abe Deconstructed Linen Armchair | Seating | Charcoal | 90 x 80 x 90 cm
Our Stylist Says
I’ve used the Abe armchair in everything from Scandi-minimalist lounges to rustic farmhouse corners and it never feels out of place. The textured black-washed linen cushion sits beautifully on that low, turned oak base - it’s both sturdy and inviting.
For styling, tuck it beside a woven jute rug and slimline side table in aged brass or matt black. A chunky knit throw in a warm terracotta or soft grey will add cosy contrast, while a simple floor lamp with a curved arm helps soften the chair’s angles. It works equally well in neutral schemes or paired with deeper accent shades like petrol blue or olive.

About Nkuku
Established in 2003, Nkuku offers ethically sourced, handcrafted, and eco-friendly homewares and furniture. Their pieces introduce an element of rustic elegance to your space, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
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.
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.
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.
