Description
Smile and give yourself a daily reminder with this bright and bold framed typographic print by Julia Walck. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in black obeche wood with an acrylic glaze that's 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. Julia Walck is a graphic designer and collage artist based in Los Angeles, California. She tries to infuse as much fun as possible into her work through conceptual thinking and bright colours paired with a vintage aesthetic. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love the bold simplicity of this piece; it’s a great way to introduce a pop of colour into a neutral scheme or to add a modern, cheeky touch to an eclectic space. The vivid yellow makes it particularly effective against darker or more muted backgrounds, where it can create instant visual interest. It works well in contemporary interiors, home offices, or kitchens, where its straightforward message can complement minimalist decor. For styling tips, consider mounting it with other black and white artwork or within a gallery wall to keep the look cohesive. Also, pairing it with textured materials like wood or woven textiles can soften its graphic impact while maintaining an energetic vibe.

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.
