Description
A photography print by Rafael Farias, capturing carefree life on the beach. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in black obeche wood. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners. Multidisciplinary artist Rafael Farias draws inspiration from his love of '80s aesthetics, minimalism, typography, nature, greenery and motivational quotes. His artworks are often based on his own experiences and are also inspired by the simplicity and use of raw materials in Scandinavian design. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this beach scene print for its relaxed, summery vibe that instantly brings a sense of calm and escapism. It works especially well in coastal or contemporary interiors, adding a touch of colour and interest without overpowering the space. To style it effectively, try pairing it with light wood or neutral-toned furnishings for a fresh look, or incorporate other maritime accents to tie a seaside theme together. It’s also versatile enough to be a focal point in living rooms, bedrooms, or even hallways, and can be hung alone or grouped with other artwork for a more curated display. Keep framing simple - the black border in this case provides enough contrast without stealing attention from the scene.

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.
