Description
The Kawasan reclaimed tall wooden pot has an appealing dark antique tone. These reclaimed pots make an easy way to add character, texture and tone to a display. Traditionally, the Kawasan was used to store milk and honey; the pots were originally handcarved in different shapes with varying design details carved into their exterior. The reclaimed nature of the Kawasan means that there is a variation between each one, sometimes one is a little wider or a little taller. This adds to their unique charm.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Nkuku Kawasan pot for adding a touch of earthy warmth to a variety of interiors. Its reclaimed, dark-stained finish makes it versatile and perfect for spaces with rustic, boho, or industrial themes. While it’s listed under ceiling lights, I’d recommend considering it as a statement piece for a decorative pendant or even as a base for hanging botanical arrangements or string lights, creating an interesting focal point. To style it effectively, pair it with natural textures like woven fabrics or wooden furniture, and use it to introduce contrast in lighter, minimal schemes. Practical tips include keeping the surrounding decor simple so the pot’s craftsmanship truly stands out, and placing it where it can be appreciated, such as above a dining table or in a cosy corner.
