Description
Nkuku's Braided Hemp circular rug is beautifully handwoven on traditional handlooms from natural hemp. The golden hues of hemp blend perfectly with braided weave, and make this a very tactile, eye-catching piece. This striking rug will bring warmth and texture to any home. Hemp is an ideal for creating durable and tactile products for the home from rugs to upholstery. It is a natural fibre that can be spun into durable strong threads. Hemp does not require pesticides and its density of growth leaves little room for weeds. This rug is loomed by hand, a traditional shuttle process in which material is laced together to create a strong and durable weave.
Our Stylist Says
I love this round hemp rug for its natural, understated vibe; it adds warmth and texture without overpowering a space. Its neutral tone makes it versatile, working well in both contemporary and rustic interiors, particularly in living rooms or relaxed dining areas. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with furniture in darker woods or soft fabrics to create contrast, and keep accessories minimal to highlight its craftsmanship. Practical tips include placing it under a coffee table or in a cosy reading nook for a welcoming feel, and because it’s hemp, it’s durable and easy to maintain-ideal for high-traffic areas.

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.
