Kundung-Pembe Chair | Jomo Tariku
Jomo’s latest work synthesizes a variety of horn shapes, hence its name deriving from two regions of Africa – “Kundung” from Nigeria and “Pembe” (the Swahili word for horn) from Eastern Africa. Jomo has combined these words in order to reflect the wide use of the horn across the African continent. And, while he is most commonly known for his work with wood and plastic materials, this piece is Jomo’s first experimentation with bronze, challenging him to explore the possibilities of working with metal.
