The understated pattern adds gentle texture without overwhelming a space, making it a versatile and calming addition to your cushion collection. Available in two sizes and paired with a coordinating throw, the Ilaa range brings subtle elegance and tactile warmth to any living room or bedroom.
Our Stylist Says
I love the nkuku Ilaa wool cushion cover for its understated elegance and cosy texture. Its neutral sand tone makes it versatile, ideal for both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in layered, Scandinavian-inspired schemes or rustic schemes where natural textures and earthy colours are key. Practical styling tips include mixing it with patterned or textured cushions to add depth, or using it as a standalone piece on a neutral sofa for subtle sophistication. The wool fabric also ensures durability and a tactile experience, making it perfect for everyday use.

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.
