Description
The Pisang lampshade combines organic texture with versatile form. Woven from plaited jute, its tactile surface and warm, earthy tone create a calming presence in any interior. Designed to complement both modern and rustic spaces, this jute lampshade can be placed on a floor or table lamp base, or suspended as a pendant for ambient overhead lighting. The inner ecru liner gently diffuses light, casting a soft, natural glow.
Our Stylist Says
I love the nkuku Pisang natural lamp shade for its earthy, handmade appeal, which makes it a versatile piece for both coastal and rustic interiors. Its neutral tones and natural fibre texture add warmth and softness to a space, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or even cozy dining areas. When styling, pair it with wooden or rattan furniture to emphasise its organic vibe, or combine it with contemporary pieces for a relaxed, eclectic look. For practical tips, consider using it with a soft, warm bulb to enhance its natural fibres and create a cosy glow - it works especially well in spaces where you want to cultivate a calm, inviting atmosphere.

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.
