The Nyala Stool draws inspiration from the reserved and elusive mountain antelope from the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia. The silhouette of these horns in conjunction with the three-legged Jimma stools were the inspiration behind this distinctive look and design that the New York Times has characterized as a classic.

“I aim to cultivate a lifelong appreciation for elevated modern African design, and to inspire a deeper and fuller connection to the continent. I weave the continent’s nature, art, and history within each piece I produce. Every design tells a unique story, with no detail overlooked or undervalued.” —Jomo Tariku
