Rich Mnisi - Rhulani (Peace)
About the Item
Nwa-Mulamula’s Chaise marked fashion designer Rich Mnisi’s breakthrough into collectible furniture. Reworked in concrete for this collection, it is a powerful evocation of the transfer of knowledge between generations, here transmuted into a gesture of peace, reflected in its title, Rhulani (Peace). With its rounded, sensual forms and imposing physicality, this concrete piece is in homage to the memory
of Rich’s late great-great-grand mother, whose teachings have lived on in his family generation after generation. Like his 2018 fashion collection of the same name, the chaise takes its title from this central matriarch – “Nwa-Mulamula” which means “guardian”. Rich has said: “She is a sacred, powerful and spiritual component of my being – although
she rests as a guardian in an ancestral realm, her spirit, lessons and sacrifices have defied temporal limitations,” he has said. “I see her as symbol to pay homage to the role of African mothers whose stories are either seldom documented or given the light they deserve.”
