Description
Our Sanora Lantern offers a charming take on the traditional hurricane lantern. Crafted from sustainable mango wood, it presents a softer, more inviting alternative to standard metal lanterns. The accompanying glass case protects the flame while adding a touch of elegance and contrasting texture to the design. Perfect for creating a warm ambiance, this lantern enhances both indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing a rustic yet refined touch to your space. Available in two sizes. Pair with our soy blend.
Our Stylist Says
I love how the nkuku Sanora Mango Wood Lantern adds natural warmth and texture to a space, making it versatile for both modern and rustic interiors. Its large size makes it a statement piece, perfect for centrepieces on sideboards or dining tables, or grouped in multiples for more impact. It works beautifully in minimalist, boho, or coastal schemes, where the natural materials can shine. For styling tips, try pairing it with neutral textiles or greenery to enhance its authentic feel, and use it with pillar candles or LED equivalents for safety and ambiance. Keeping the lantern simple allows it to complement rather than overwhelm your decor.

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.
