The elegant contours of our Sia lantern is enhanced with the antique black metal finish. This striking frame holds the tall glass panels and provides the perfect silhouette for a church candle or t-light. | nkuku Sia Lantern | Candles Holders & Lanterns | Antique Black | Small 32 x 20 x 20 cm
Our Stylist Says
I love this lantern for its sleek, minimal design and versatile colour. Its black metal frame adds a modern edge, while the glass panels make it easy to see the flickering candle inside, creating a warm, inviting glow. It works well in contemporary, coastal, or Scandinavian interiors, both styled on their own or in groups for impact. For practical styling, consider placing it on a side table, mantelpiece, or outdoor space where its size - small but impactful - can be appreciated without overwhelming the space. Using it with smaller candles or T-lights gives a subtle ambience, and stacking or grouping them at different heights, as shown, can add visual interest and depth.

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.
