Description
Woven from a blend of natural wool and cotton, this rug brings softness and subtle texture to any space. The off-white base is accented with an eye-catching geometric design, offering visual interest while remaining effortlessly neutral. Soft underfoot and rich in natural tone, it-s a versatile layer that adds warmth and dimension to living rooms, bedrooms, or hallway settings.
Our Stylist Says
I love the nkuku Shanti rug for its natural, versatile look that complements both modern and traditional interiors. Its neutral tones and textured weave make it a practical choice for adding warmth and visual interest without overpowering the space. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even open-plan areas, especially when layered over wooden or neutral flooring. For styling tips, consider pairing it with earthy tones and tactile textiles like linen cushions or throws to emphasise its organic feel. Its generous size also makes it a great anchor for seating arrangements, helping to define zones and create a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

About Nkuku
Established in 2003, Nkuku offers ethically sourced, handcrafted, and eco-friendly homewares and furniture. Their pieces introduce an element of rustic elegance to your space, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
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.
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.
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.
