Our Stylist Says
The Nkuku Zarika lantern is a versatile piece that adds a sleek, modern touch to various interiors. I love its minimalist black metal frame, which works well in both contemporary and industrial schemes, but also brings a refined edge to boho or rustic spaces when combined with textured accessories. Its large size makes it perfect as a statement piece on mantels, sideboards, or outdoor tables. Practical styling tips include pairing it with smaller candles or fairy lights inside for a cosy glow, or placing it outdoors during evenings for a charming, atmospheric effect. It's equally effective as a standalone feature or grouped with other lanterns for layered lighting.

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.
