Description
Our sophisticated Aluva Glass Side Table has a geometric, timeless design with a base forged from solid iron that has an antique brass finish. Perfect in any living space, place it next to a reading chair with a table lamp, or use it as an occasional table. The separate glass top slots neatly onto the frame and has been sand cast, a technique dating back to the 15th Century where the design is carved into sand and molten glass poured in. When cooled, the sand is removed to reveal the cast glass to be smooth on the surface but with a wave like pattern and the occasional air bubble, giving the finished piece a beautifully textured, unique finish. There is a matching coffee table in the collection.

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.
