Price History
Description
The quirky organic shape of our Hapua glass candle holder comes from the traditional methods used to create it. It’s crafted from entirely mouth blown glass, a form of glass production that has stood the test of time. The artisans blow air into molten glass before deftly shaping it into the finished product. The candle holder has been finished with a tactile hammered pattern, which was made with traditional tools. We use recycled glass so it’s both beautiful and sustainable. Available in two sizes. The smaller version is a stylish addition to your mantlepiece or side table, while the larger looks striking next to a fireplace.
Our Stylist Says
I love the nkuku hapua glass candle holder for its simple, versatile aesthetic that works well in a wide range of interiors. Its clear glass design lends itself beautifully to minimalist, boho, or rustic styles, adding a subtle touch of elegance without overpowering the surroundings. For practical styling, consider grouping a few around your dining or coffee table for a warm, inviting glow, or using it as a delicate accent on shelves or sideboards. Its small size makes it ideal for creating intimate lighting displays, and it pairs especially well with textured materials like wood, raw ceramics, or woven textiles for a pared-back, calming 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.
