Description
A new day dawns in this colourful graphic print, 'Rising' by artist Kubistika. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. The acrylic glaze is light in weight and optically the same as glass. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners. Berlin-based designer Boris Draschoff aka Kubistika creates art that follows the literal translation of the Greek word ‘kaleidoscope', meaning ‘observation of beautiful forms'. Simplifying subjects, he reduces them to their essentials. Whether he is restructuring shapes and colours along cubist lines, or creating awesomely outrageous pop-artsy collages in a playground of pastels, he can always be trusted to turn your perspective around. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this print as it offers a modern, minimalist aesthetic that works particularly well in contemporary or Scandinavian-inspired interiors. The warm tones of the rising sun make it versatile enough to complement neutral colour palettes, while the clean design lends itself well to space above a sofa, bed, or console table. For styling, consider pairing it with other natural textures like wood or linen to enhance its calming effect. It also works great in a statement gallery wall if combined with more abstract or geometric pieces. Keep framing simple and sleek, as it already has a strong visual impact, allowing the artwork to be the main feature without overwhelming the space.

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.
