Art print by Lemon x Ronelle Pienaar Jenkin exclusively for The Poster Club. 

This series is inspired by the ‘flowers’ we send and the myriad of intentions behind it. Some sincere, some less so. Some ambiguous and some with a clear meaning. Flowers being symbolic of all types of gestures. The handwritten ‘note’ underneath each drawing is an imaginary extract from the card accompanying said bunch of flowers. By being somewhat illegible it contributes to the ambiguity and the mystery of these gestures. Leaving the recipient somewhat perplexed.

Kevin Frankental is a South African designer and the co-owner of Lemon. Frankental’s particular fascination with furniture and graphic design as well as photography has informed Lemon’s journey, along with influences and inspiration from multiple eras, in particular the midcentury period.

Frankental’s process involves delving into the capabilities of different materials and stretching their scope to consider new uses. He oversees product design and marketing and has prioritised strong relationships with long term collaborators – an integral part of his vision to serve as a platform for South African talent.
