Dogon Stool

Description

Born in Ethiopia and based in Virginia, designer Jomo Tariku conceived this Dogon Stool as a modern take on small geometric stools found in the African nation of Mali. Growing up in Ethiopia, Tariku was drawn to the eclectic art and furniture pieces that his father collected from all over Africa. Tariku developed his craft during summer breaks at a local furniture builder in the Ethiopian city of Addis Ababa and went on to study industrial design at the University of Kansas. 

The Dogon Stool is made in Virginia, crafted with precision using a CNC wood-milling machine and hand-finished and assembled. This height-adjustable design is made from water-resistant Baltic birch plywood with a double black stain finish and is made to order. It measures 15.75-17.9h x 14w x 8.5″d.
