Description
A set of two Rustic dinner candles with a textured finish for a relaxed take on a classic shape. These were designed specifically for our candle holders that fit a tapered style, they look beautiful as a finishing touch on an evening table setting, helping to create a warm and welcoming scene. An elegant 20.5cm in length, made from a soy wax blend and available in a choice of three colours: calm neutral, rich charcoal or warm olive.
Our Stylist Says
I love this set because it combines a rustic charm with a modern, understated elegance that suits a range of interiors. They work particularly well in neutral or earthy colour schemes, adding warmth to dining tables, sideboards, or mantelpieces. The white candles with their simple holders lend themselves to both cosy country kitchens and minimalist Scandinavian spaces. For styling tips, I recommend placing the candles at varying heights for visual interest and pairing them with natural textures like linen napkins or woven placemats to enhance their organic feel. They’re versatile enough to be used for everyday dining or special occasions, making them a practical yet stylish choice.

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.
