This eye-catching Nyala Chair is by Jomo Tariku, an Ethiopian industrial designer based in Virginia.

"Inspired by the shy and elusive mountain antelope from the Bale Mountains of East Africa, the hand-carved armrests and legs of this chair echo the Nyala's distinctive soaring horns and sturdy hind legs," Tariku writes. "Staying true to the non-territorial nature of the Nyala, the chair blends with the design pallet of modern living spaces while maintaining its individuality."

The antelope is in danger of going extinct, as its population has declined from 25,000 down to "around a thousand" over the past several decades.

"To heighten awareness of this decline, we will limit lifetime production to 1,000 - One chair to represent each antelope on the Bale Mountain. A portion of sales will be donated to support research or conservation field work in Bale Mountains National Park."

The Nyala Chair, one of which is part LACMA's permanent collection, is carried by the Wexler Gallery.
