Do you know your farfalle from your fusilli? This typographic print 'Pasta Guide' from Violet Studio gives you the answers in visual form, an homage to pasta in all its tasty shapes, for the kitchen wall. 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. Violet Studio's work is focused on classic graphic design and fun poster art. She studied Art History at Oxford University, Graphic Design with the Hato Press at Central Saint Martins and Fine Art in Barcelona, where she also founded a gallery and studio space. Her love of graphic design originated from making posters and publications for friends' exhibitions and food events. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this Pasta Guide print for its playful yet functional design, making it a fun addition to a kitchen or dining area. Its clean lines and illustrative style lend themselves well to contemporary, Scandi, or eclectic interiors. It works particularly well as a feature in open-plan kitchens, paired with minimal cabinetry to add personality without clutter. For styling, consider layering it with other framed prints or placing it above a kitchen shelf or alongside cookbooks for an inviting, casual feel. The wood frame offers a warm touch that complements natural materials like timber worktops or wicker accessories, making it both practical and visually engaging.

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.
