THE SET
Thirteen miniature watercolour studies of the iconic Land Rover Defender, gathered as a limited print set: an edition of fifty, and no more. Each set is individually printed, hand-cut, numbered and signed, then presented in packaging assembled entirely by hand. The prints rest inside an envelope of handcrafted Nepalese daphne paper, deckle-edged and stitched with waxed linen thread. Every set passes through the atelier one at a time, from the first cut to the final stitch.
THE STORY
The Defender is a machine built to be kept, rebuilt, restored and driven again. This collection treats it the same way: not as a product, but as a portrait. Thirteen small studies, each catching a different angle, detail or mood of a restored icon: the grille, the folded canvas, the worn tyres, the long profile in low light. Held together in bark paper from the Himalayas. A small archive of something loved.
