Description
Our Small Rustic pillar candle has a textured finish for a relaxed take on a classic shape and a rich cherry tone in keeping with our seasonal colour palette. These were created specifically for our candle holders which are designed to hold a larger candle. They look beautiful on a sideboard or mantelpiece, in a living room or hallway or as the centrepiece of a table setting for a warm and welcoming scene.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the nkuku candle because of its rustic appeal and rich dark cherry colour, which adds warmth and character to a range of interiors. It works particularly well in cosy, earthy spaces such as rustic kitchens, boho living rooms, or even Scandi-inspired schemes where natural textures are key. Stylistically, it’s best placed on a wooden side table, open shelf, or mantelpiece to create an inviting glow. Practical tips include pairing it with other neutral or textured accessories to balance its colour, and using a candle snuffer to prolong its burn time for a more sustainable use. Its simple, understated design means it’s versatile enough to work in both modern and more traditional interiors.

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.
