The only thing that might be more important to Jomo Tariku than great design, is having a great story to tell. Tariku has been designing and creating furniture for more than two decades, and he is very conscious of what an uncommon thing this is in the United States for someone like him, Kenyan raised in Ethiopia. Acutely aware of the lack of representation of Black designers, and with the expert craftsmanship of his woodworker David Bohnhoff, Tariku is on a mission not only to make beautiful pieces but to tell the story of the African continent as he knows it, instead of as the West has interpreted it. #BeautifulThings #JomoTariku #NyalaChair Subscribe to House Beautiful http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoHOUSEBEAUTIFUL ...more
