Description
Robert Delaunay often divided his canvases into equal segments, distributing complementary and non-complementary colours amongst a succession of geometric forms. This process was based on the law of simultaneous contrast, developed by French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul who stated that two colours in close proximity will take on the hue of the complement of the adjacent colour. Delaunay applied this theory when producing ‘Joie de Vivre’, positioning hues of red and orange against greens and yellows which appears to make the surface of the canvas vibrate.
Our Stylist Says
I love the vibrant energy of this Joie de Vivre print - it’s a fantastic statement piece that can bring a lively touch to both modern and eclectic interiors. Its bold colours and geometric shapes make it ideal for adding a splash of personality to a neutral space, or conversely, blending seamlessly into a colour-rich room. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, clean-lined furniture to let the artwork take centre stage, or placing it above a sofa or sideboard to anchor a feature wall. To keep the focus on the print, opt for minimalist framing - the black border works perfectly for a contemporary look, but you could switch to natural oak or metallics for a different vibe. It’s a versatile piece that can work well in living rooms, dining spaces, or even creative workspaces.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
