Description
Celebrate a very good year with this typography print from a series by artist Simon C Page. 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. Simon C. Page was born in Cambridgeshire and works from his studio in the beautiful town of Saffron Walden for clients such as The New York Times, Nike and Google. Simon is a self-taught designer and artist who studied Applied Mathematics and his work - with its formulas, keys, instructive text and almost scientific use of colour and pattern - hints at this mathematical background. With a passion for minimalism, combined with a love of typography, geometry, science fiction and exciting use of colour, Simon creates graphic work that is visually arresting and ideally suited to contemporary settings. Always aiming to stimulate the emotions of the viewer, Simon's philosophy of good design excites is at the forefront of his mind when creating new work. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this print for its clean, minimalist aesthetic-it’s perfect for adding a subtle touch of personality to contemporary or pared-back interiors. The bold ‘1972’ design makes it a great focal point for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways, especially when paired with muted tones or understated furniture. To style it effectively, consider grouping it with other monochrome artworks or vintage pieces to create an eclectic look. Practical tip: use it above a sideboard or sofa to draw attention without overpowering the space, and keep framing simple to maintain its modern edge.

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.
