Nkuku in Batley
1 showroom · Mid-High (£££)Made in UKEst. 2003
Nkuku is an ethical homeware and furniture brand founded in 2003 in Devon, inspired by the artisan craftsmanship the founders Ali and Alex discovered while travelling in Zambia and beyond. Their handmade-to-order sofas are crafted by specialists in a Nottinghamshire workshop using traditional techniques and sustainably sourced materials. With a flagship lifestyle store and cafe near Totnes, Nkuku champions Fairtrade principles and natural materials across their full home collection.
Known for: Ethical Devon-based brand offering handmade-to-order sofas crafted with sustainably sourced natural materials
Nkuku started with ethically-sourced homewares and their move into sofas feels natural. There's a warmth and earthiness to their aesthetic that's quite lovely — reclaimed materials, handcrafted textures, the kind of thing that looks effortless but isn't. The sofa range is still small but growing with intention.
“Ethical charm, beautifully earthy aesthetic”
