Meedo Wallpaper

Each panel, 30" x 9'  Lead time 5-7 weeks The Meedo Wallpaper design is a continuation and further experimentation of Jomo Tariku’s Meedo Chair, which was first made with 16 layers of walnut veneer and was commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum for their Afro-Futurist Period Room installation, designed by Hanna Beachler. This bench was constructed with the same technique used to create the chair: each tine comb segment is individually crafted by Tariku on a separate mold and are then combined and shaped to create a “walking finger” look.   The Afro Comb is an enduring icon of Black experience and history. Jomo envisioned the Meedo (Amharic for “comb”) to combine the rich history of the Afro Comb with the African symbolism of a chair (or stool) as an object signifying leadership.  Ships untrimmed Trimmed width = 27" Sold as 9' panels Custom sizes available Paper type: Non-woven vellum - white Screen color is not actual representation  Custom sizes and colorations also available upon request Please contact info@wexlergallery to order
