Kuku Hand-carved Wood Vase
The KuKu Hand-carved Wood Vase is a sculptural, wooden vase crafted from recycled wood by Tekura in Ghana.
Designed as a modern African décor piece, its warm natural grain, carved geometric band, and minimalist silhouette make it a striking accent for consoles, shelves, and curated styling moments.
A Story of Renewal, Craft & Modern Ghanaian Design
Tekura is known for transforming reclaimed and recycled woods into contemporary sculptures and functional art pieces. The KuKu Vase continues this tradition. Carved by hand, shaped with intention, and finished to highlight the organic beauty and character of the wood.
While influenced by the fluid curves and bold graphic motifs found within West African design, the KuKu Vase is a contemporary interpretation, not a historical replication. Its rhythmic carved band adds movement and visual structure, echoing the balance and harmony often seen in Ghanaian craft traditions.
The use of recycled wood gives each piece a sense of renewal, a second life shaped into an object of artistry and meaning. As with all Tekura creations, the vase honours the connection between craftsmanship, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
A Sculptural Accent for Any Room
The KuKu Vase is intended first as a decorative sculpture, and second as a vessel for dried stems.
Style It:
- As a standalone art object on a console, shelf, or pedestal
- Centered on a coffee table to anchor a warm, textured vignette
- Paired with dried botanicals for added height and softness
- Layered with other Tekura wooden pieces for a cohesive, sculptural story
- Positioned in an entryway or dining area as an understated focal point
Its neutral palette and carved detailing blend effortlessly with minimalist, earthy, and modern interiors.
