Our curated colour palette offers a variety of 11 sophisticated muted shades. Please note, our white background cut-out photography is shown in Natural for shape and style reference. Fabric Swatch Ordering We recommend ordering fabric swatches before placing your order, giving you the chance to feel the fabric and see your colour choices within your own home.

Before placing your order, it's important to take the time to measure the space you intend to place your made-to-order furniture to ensure it fits properly.

Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Deni armchair in chestnut linen for its relaxed yet tailored feel - the softly rounded arms and turned legs add just enough character without overwhelming a space. The warm, earthy tone works beautifully in both contemporary and more traditional rooms, pairing easily with natural woods, woven rugs and greenery. For styling, position it as a reading nook alongside a slimline floor lamp and a side table in muted metal or rattan. Add a textured cushion in a complementary shade (think olive or soft terracotta) and a lightweight throw to emphasise its inviting, sunk-into comfort. It’s also ideal in pairs, flanking a fireplace or framing a window seat for a balanced, welcoming look.

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.
