Inspired by a traditional game once played in South India, the Maji stone multi tealight holder blends heritage with functional décor. Its antique form is reimagined as a sculptural centrepiece, offering a meaningful nod to cultural history while casting a soft, ambient glow when in use.
Our Stylist Says
I love the nkuku Maji Stone candle holder for its versatile, rustic charm and tactile finish that adds warmth to any space. Its antique black tone works particularly well in schemes with earthy tones or industrial accents, making it a great statement piece on a dinner table, console, or even a cosy nook. To style it effectively, consider grouping it with other textured accessories or candles in contrasting colours for a curated look. It’s practical too-just ensure candles are safely contained and away from flammable surfaces. Its neutrally muted palette and unique shape make it adaptable across various interiors, from modern boho to heritage-inspired schemes.

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.
