Description
Plate 7 from ‘Relais', Édouard Bénédictus (1878-1930), Paris, 1930 © Victoria and Albert Museum, London. This giclee print has a handmade and hand-finished sustainably sourced solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. Édouard Bénédictus created beautiful albums of textile and wallpaper designs in the Art Deco style using a simple and vibrant colour replication process called pochoir, a method which had been used since the nineteenth century, most prevalently in France, by artists and craftsmen in the production of limited-edition books, prints and illustrated portfolios. His folios include Variations (1924), Nouvelles Variations (1929) and Relais (1930). French artist Édouard Bénédictus is best known as a talented designer, writer and scientist who produced stylish Art Deco floral works. Involved in the Pavillion de l'Ambassade Francaise in the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 1925, he designed textiles for iconic brands of the age. Founded in 1852 to make works of art available to all, today the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is the world's leading museum of art, design and performance.

Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its bold colour palette and geometric shapes-it really brings a lively energy to a space. The Edouard Benedictus Relais Plate 7 works well in modern or eclectic interiors, especially when paired with minimalist furniture to let the artwork stand out. It also pairs nicely with neutral or muted colour schemes, acting as a vibrant focal point. For styling tips, consider placing it above a console table or sofa, and frame it with simple accessories to keep the look balanced. Its size makes it versatile for various room sizes, making it a smart pick for adding visual interest without overwhelming a space.

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.
