Price History
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.

Our Stylist Says
I love the '72 poster for its clean, minimalist design and versatile appeal. It works particularly well in contemporary or modern interiors, but can also complement vintage or industrial styles when paired with other understated pieces. For styling tips, consider placing it above a neutral-toned sofa or console table to add a subtle pop of colour and visual interest. It’s also effective as part of a gallery wall, mixing different prints and artwork for an eclectic look. Framing it in simple materials like white or slim black borders will keep the focus on the graphic, making it a flexible piece for various spaces.

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.
