Description
Blending the soft sheen of velvet with the natural texture of linen, this lampshade offers a subtle contrast and a tactile finish. Its gently woven fabric allows light to filter through beautifully, creating a warm, diffused glow. The neutral colour palette adds quiet elegance, making it a refined feature in any interior.
Our Stylist Says
I love this mocha velvet and linen lamp shade for adding a warm, inviting touch to both modern and rustic interiors. Its medium size makes it versatile for table lamps in living rooms or bedrooms, especially when paired with textured or natural materials. The combination of velvet and linen gives it a subtle layered look that works well in cosy, understated spaces but can also elevate minimalist decor. For styling, consider using it with neutral-toned bases or wooden lamp stands to highlight the shade’s rich colour and tactile appeal. It’s a practical piece that effortlessly introduces a bit of understated luxury while maintaining a relaxed, approachable vibe.

About Nkuku
Established in 2003, Nkuku offers ethically sourced, handcrafted, and eco-friendly homewares and furniture. Their pieces introduce an element of rustic elegance to your space, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
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.
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.
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.
