Description
Taking you back to the beginning of the '70s, this framed print by Frances Collett uses a retro font and palette to bold effect. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in natural obeche wood with an acrylic glaze that's optically the same as glass. Made in the UK, it's ready to hang on your wall. Frances Collett is a designer and artist based in Bristol, UK. Her signature style of retro and Scandinavian imagery can be found printed on photographic prints, greetings cards and her range of homeware. The choice of colours and shapes that Frances uses are influenced by the various media that she works with, from digital manipulation to acrylic on canvas and ceramics. All Frances Collett products are proudly made in the UK, with the additional help of other small independent businesses. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?

Our Stylist Says
I really like this retro stripe print for its bold use of colour and minimal design, making it a versatile statement piece. It works particularly well in mid-century inspired interiors or modern schemes that could do with a pop of colour. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with other vintage accessories or neutral-toned furniture to let the artwork stand out. It’s practical to hang it at eye level in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, where it can act as a focal point without overwhelming the space. Overall, it’s a great choice for bringing a fun, nostalgic vibe while remaining sleek and contemporary.

About John Lewis
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.
