Description
Our Oso bench is made from characterful, imperfect, reclaimed wood in a slat design with legs that are constructed from sturdy iron. The rustic look suits the natural environment of a garden, courtyard or terrace space. Style with our Oso dining table and complete the look. As this item is made from reclaimed teak, there are imperfections in the wood. These include some cracks and marks on the wood. We believe these characteristics add to the look of piece and provide an attractive aged and weathered appearance. The reclaimed nature of these pieces means there are imperfections and weathered finishes. No two are the same. The legs of our Oso bench are powder coated, creating a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. This makes them suitable for the garden.
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.
