Description
Freestanding Narlu window box planter from Nkuku, a practical wide trough with a rustic patina that marries grey zinc with touches of rust. This finish will weather and age further when left to the elements, creating a characterful and interesting appearance. Ideally proportioned for a striking window box display, the rectangular shape fits neatly in a sturdy iron frame. Great for under a window and has plenty of space for planting. Fill yours with aromatic herbs, wild strawberries, lavender or colourful blooms. Traditionally flowers with a compact growing habit or trailing varieties look wonderful in window boxes such as lobellias, petunias, fuchsias, daisies, pansies and pelargoniums. We also love the idea of homegrown vegetables from chillis and peppers to tomatoes and even lettuce.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Nkuku Narlu wide window box for its robust, industrial aesthetic-perfect for adding a touch of urban charm to garden or balcony spaces. Its aged zinc finish gives it a lived-in, vintage feel that works well in contemporary, rustic, or eclectic interiors. To style it effectively, consider planting a mix of colourful seasonal flowers or lush herbs to create a vibrant, natural focal point. It’s practical for working with taller or trailing plants that can spill over the sides, and its freestanding design makes it versatile for different outdoor settings, whether mounted on a railing or placed directly on the ground. Pairing it with other industrial materials like wood or metal accents can reinforce a cohesive look, while keeping plant choices lively will prevent it from looking too stark.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
