Why It Matters
The box set is a rare departure into letterpress for Kai & Sunny, whose editions are usually screen prints. The heavy-impression technique on Somerset Velvet gives each image a tactile, debossed quality, and the six-print portfolio format makes this a cohesive collector's object rather than a single sheet.
Collector Perspective
As a signed, numbered edition of 50 containing six works, the set offers breadth and a distinctive medium in one acquisition. Completeness is critical — verify all six letterpress images and the original box are present and unmarked. The heavy impression is a defining feature and should show crisp, deep embossing.
Historical Context
Being 'Series 2' indicates an ongoing Flower Show portfolio programme by Kai & Sunny in 2011, extending their botanical theme into a multi-image letterpress format. It reflects the duo's interest in fine-press production techniques alongside their better-known screen printing.
