Our Stylist Says
I love this navy jute lampshade for its versatile, understated style that pairs beautifully with both rustic and contemporary interiors. Its medium size makes it a flexible choice for side lights, bedside lamps, or even in a living room setting. The natural jute material adds texture and warmth, making it well-suited for relaxed, earthy schemes or coastal-inspired spaces. For practical styling tips, consider pairing it with matte black or brass fittings for a modern edge, and keep the surrounding decor simple to let the lampshade be a focal point. Its classic yet casual vibe helps to create cosy, inviting lighting without overpowering the overall aesthetic.

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.
