Description
This scented candle is made in the UK by a family-run business, using a bespoke fragrance created exclusively for Nkuku. Woody notes of cedarwood, aromatic smoke, and honeyed fig evoke the warmth and comfort of a crackling fireside. The vessel is finished in one of Nkuku's iconic textured styles and intended to be reused once the candle has burned through.
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle for its sleek, frosted black finish which adds a modern yet understated touch to various interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary, minimalist, or industrial settings, where its dark hue complements neutral palettes and textured surfaces like wood or concrete. For practical styling, place it on a wooden or black tray alongside other monochrome accessories or natural elements like stones and plants to create a calming vignette. Its compact size makes it ideal for side tables, shelves, or bathroom counters, and lighting it will bring both ambiance and subtle fragrance, enhancing the overall atmosphere without overpowering the space.

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.
