Description
The Nkuku Alera side table is as practical as it is stylish. The framework is soldered from iron, offering a sturdy frame that is built to last. The leather compartment offers space for books and magazines while adding to the beautiful aesthetic of the piece.<>p> The tabletop is made from solid mango wood. All the materials used are sustainably sourced. The leather used is goat leather, a by-product, which is naturally dyed with vegetable extract and tree bark resulting in a more durable leather that will enrich over time. The mango wood used to make Nkuku's wooden pieces come from mango trees that have stopped bearing fruit. This allows the farmers to plant more trees and provides them with a supplementary income. Nkuku works with artisans throughout the world, combining timeless design with traditional skills and natural materials. Want to see it first?

Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of this mango-wood and leather side table because it brings natural warmth without feeling fussy. The slim iron frame and leather sling for magazines keep it light and practical, so it works really well in a Scandi-inspired living room, a rustic-modern study or even a pared-back hallway. For styling, try topping it with a simple ceramic lamp and a small stack of coffee-table books. The leather pocket is perfect for your current reads or newspapers, so it’s both decorative and functional. Because of its compact footprint, you can slot it next to an armchair or beside a narrow sofa without overcrowding the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
