Price History
Description
Flora meets fauna on this bright, statement reversible cushion. Look closely and you'll see Orla Kiely's iconic stem, cleverly camouflaged with a super-sweet honey bee as the tropics fuse with English country garden, perfect for adding a 70s inspired touch to your home. Hailed by many as the 'Queen of Prints', Orla Kiely is a prolific textiles designer that has won global acclaim for her kitsch and colourful designs. Drawing inspiration from nature, her Irish heritage and her grandmother, she has encapsulated these elements in her prints, giving the fresh, retro-inspired twist for which she is famous.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for adding a playful, nature-inspired touch to a variety of interiors. The bold bee and leaf print in vibrant colours works particularly well in contemporary and eclectic spaces, instantly injecting colour and personality. It pairs brilliantly with neutral sofas or bedding to create a focal point, but can also tie in with other botanical or retro-themed decor. Practical styling tips include grouping it with more subdued cushions for contrast, or layering it on a textured fabric like linen or wool for added depth. It’s a versatile piece that brings a lively yet refined feel to both living rooms and bedrooms.

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.
