Nkuku's hammered metalwork has subtle texture variations that catch light throughout the day, giving it visual interest without any fuss. It's genuinely versatile—works as bedside storage in smaller bedrooms where wood might feel heavy, or as an accent piece flanking sofas in living rooms that need a bit of metallic contrast. The brass will naturally age and darken over time, which adds character but means it won't stay showroom-bright. If you prefer that aged look, this is ideal; if you like things pristine, expect occasional polishing.
