Description
The striking antique finish of our Nimit tealights gives them a beautiful rustic style. This is enhanced by the distinctive organic shape of their rim, which is indicative of the traditional methods used to create them. They’re crafted from recycled glass, which is washed before being melted down and shaped, using techniques that have stood the test of time. The warm metallic gold tones and textured glass complete the look and make these tealights an elegant addition to your mantlepiece, shelves or side table.

Our Stylist Says
This little tealight holder is a versatile piece that adds a warm, sophisticated touch to both modern and rustic interiors. I love its recycled glass construction and antique gold finish - it offers a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully without overpowering a space. It works particularly well in cosy living rooms, on bedside tables, or as part of a layered centrepiece on the dining table. Practical styling tips include clustering multiple sizes together for impact or pairing it with natural textures like wood, linen, or ceramics to enhance its earthy feel. It’s perfect for creating a relaxed, inviting atmosphere while adding a touch of elegance.

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.
