Inside Cape Town’s Southern Guild gallery is the exhibition of renowned South African designer Rich Mnisi. Titled ‘Dzuvula’, the exhibition is an extension of ‘Nyoka’, Mnisi’s debut into furniture design, and comprises 3 installations: sculptural bronze furniture and lighting, as well as a hand-woven limited-edition rug.
'Dzuvula is an expansion on the cosmology of duality that emerged with my debut collectible design collection,' says Mnisi. 'Nyoka gave birth to a world so vast that a single collection wouldn’t explore everything it has to offer. Dzuvula is less about creating a link and more about furthering the exploration. The snake— with its embodiment of fear and beauty makes a reappearance in this latest collection although this time, it reveals itself fully for all to see, indicating a kind of embrace and acceptance of the fear.'
