Innovation Born From Overlooked Necessities

Life is full of taken-for-granted terrible products that no companies innovate upon, making us assume such flaws are inevitable, until someone revolutionizes them.

Apple's minimalist remote control is a marvelous design.
Removing the annoying tag from the back of a T-shirt is a marvelous design.
Resolving the problem of heel blisters from high heels is a marvelous design.

When we love something, we want to make it better.

Nakupenda brand is a built around love.

We love life as much as you do.
So we found something annoying and decided to do something about it.
Nakupenda was formed!
We believe that love drives innovation.

Don't look at what we say

look at what we do

Before the Nakupenda guitar stool, we've taken a hard pause in the development of three products. 

They were good enough, but not good enough to meet Nakupenda's standards.

iStand-iPad & Reading Duo Stand

Want to free your hands while reading and using an iPad?
iStand is a unique product that combines two stands into one.
It can be adjusted in height up and down and forward and backward, making it ideal for reading and using an iPad.

However, the book clip component could not meet the impossible triangle of durability, elasticity, and beauty, so we have paused its development.

Slim Speaker  Stand

Fed up with desk speakers causing vibrations and shaking your table?
Elevate them!

This stand seamlessly integrates with speakers, featuring a distinctive architectural truss structure for sublime audio resonance.

We're continuing to iterate on design and materials to achieve the best possible aural upgrade

Waterlily Coffee Table

Imagine a piece that brings the tranquility of nature into your home.

The tabletop mimics the shape of water lilies, while the legs resemble six branches. Easy assembly in minutes.

We're actively addressing stability concerns; stay tuned for updates.

Our Challenging Journey Our Joy And Pride Are Dedicated To You

After one year, exchanging five factories and 11 production sample iterations, successfully navigating the impossible triangle of functionality, user-friendliness, and aesthetic appeal, Nakupenda Guitar Master Stool was born.
