Description
The "Barkvase" flower vase comprises an external stainless steel structure and an internal glass container, which is ideal for freshly cut flowers. The design of "Barkvase", as its name suggests, is inspired by tree bark and its perforated pattern recalls knots in the wood grain. The cylindrical shape of the vase recalls that of a trunk, whilst the flowers inside it turn it into a poetic object, a small "tree of life". Designed by Michael Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui, the designers drew their inspiration from their home, Casa Boucquillon which is a place for experimentation, meditation and work where they can live in sync with nature. The perforated pattern of the "Bark" range recalls the bark on the trees that surround the house. The result is a strongly poetic collection where every individual object proves to be, either in shape or in function, in continuous and harmonious dialogue with nature.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
