THE SET
Thirteen miniature studies of the iconic Defender, gathered as a limited-edition 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 made from handcrafted Nepalese daphne paper, deckle-edged and hand-stitched with waxed linen thread. From the first cut to the final stitch, every set passes through the hands of the atelier one at a time.
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 tires, the long profile in low light. Held together in an envelope made the old way, from bark paper of the Himalayas, stitched by hand. A small archive of something loved.
