John Lewis
Morris & Co. Strawberry Thief Pouffe, Red / Multi
Out of Stock
Price History
Description
Inspired by the cheeky thrushes that pilfered fruit from his countryside home in Oxfordshire, William Morris created this pattern in the late 1800s. Now one of his most popular designs, it adds a stunning heritage feel to this decorative, velvet-topped pouffe.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pouffe for adding a splash of colour and pattern to a variety of interiors. Its bold, vintage-inspired design is especially effective in eclectic, boho, or traditional spaces where it can serve as a statement piece. It works well as a footrest or extra seating, and its rounded shape makes it versatile for corner styling or paired with larger sofas. For practical styling tips, consider placing it alongside plain or textured furniture to highlight its vibrant pattern, or use it as a colour pop in neutral rooms. Because of its sturdy construction and eye-catching fabric, it can also be moved around easily, making it a functional decorative element that combines style with comfort.

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.
