Description
Bring the sea to your home with this beautifully simple print by Kubistika. The giclée art printing process and 210gsm acid-free archival paper create an exhibition-quality art print with long-lasting colours that more closely resemble the artist's materials and tones. A digital form of the original work is stored and then printed using a commercial printer and pigment-based inks. The print is presented with an acrylic glaze that's optically the same as glass yet lighter in weight making it easier and safer to hang. Ready to hang on your wall, it's framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. 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 love the simplicity and calmness of the seaside prints, making the Kubistika 'Seaside Memories' a versatile addition to many interiors. It works particularly well in coastal-inspired schemes, but also adds a touch of tranquillity to minimal or Scandinavian styles. To style it effectively, consider grouping it with other small artworks or layering it over a textured wall for added depth. Its framed design makes it ideal for placement above sofas, beds, or console tables, where it can serve as a focal point without overwhelming the space. Keeping surrounding decor simple will let the artwork stand out, enhancing its calming, seaside vibe.

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.
