Description
An abstract work, 'Staggering' by Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Museum-quality framed and glazed in the UK, this fine art print is ready to hang on your wall. Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889- 1943) was one of the foremost abstract geometric artists and designers of the 1920s and '30s, and is the only woman currently depicted on a Swiss banknote. Her artistic output included painting, textiles, embroidery, sculptures and puppets as well as her famous 'Dada heads'. Taeuber-Arp’s diverse work challenged the boundaries of art and design, combining modernist abstraction with traditional crafts. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love the bold, geometric style of the Sophie Taeuber-Arp print - it makes a real statement. Its strong lines and playful movement work particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, adding a splash of colour and texture without overwhelming the space. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with monochrome or neutral furniture to let the purple pop, or incorporate complementary accessories like cushions or vases in similar tones. It’s versatile enough to work in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, especially when you want a contemporary focal point that’s both artistic and distinctive. Practical tip: hang it at eye level for maximum impact and keep surrounding decor simple for a balanced look.

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.
