Description
A punchy, motivational typography print by artist Rafael Farias, to give you a daily boost. 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. Multi-disciplinary artist Rafael Farias draws inspiration from his love of '80s aesthetics, minimalism, typography, nature, greenery and motivational quotes. His artworks are often based on his own experiences and are also inspired by the simplicity and use of raw materials typical of Scandinavian design. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its bold, motivational vibe that can energise any space. It works particularly well in home gyms, laundry rooms, or even a modern office to add a touch of personality and drive. When styling, pair it with clean-lined furniture and neutral tones to let the print stand out as a focal point. It also looks great framed with simple, minimalist surrounds or displayed alongside other black-and-white artwork for a cohesive look. Practical tip: hang it at eye level to get the full impact of the message and keep the surrounding space uncluttered to maximise its visual punch.

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.
