Description
A magical and almost surreal work of a tree with watches for leaves, by artist Ulyana Hammond. Made with a wood-effect frame and mount, this canvas print comes ready to hang on your wall and is a smaller version of her contemporary classic. Ulyana Hammond was born in 1981 in St Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, known for its outstanding architecture. These wonderful surroundings were a great source of inspiration to her as she grew up to appreciate the historical riches around her. While studying traditional art and sculpture at university, Ulyana spent many hours sketching and perfecting her art, discovering this rewarding outlet for her passion of painting contrasting shape and colours. Returning to St Peterburg to see family, the trip brought all her childhood memories flooding back. This beautiful city continues to influence her work. Have you thought about hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love how Ulyana Hammond’s ‘Watch Tree’ works well in a variety of interiors-its modern, playful design makes it a great feature piece in contemporary settings, but it can also add a touch of intrigue to more traditional spaces. The muted colour palette with subtle pops of colour allows it to be versatile, pairing nicely with neutral schemes or adding visual interest in a more colourful room. For styling, I’d suggest placing it in a living room or hallway at eye level, perhaps above a sleek sideboard or console table, to let it really stand out. Pairing it with minimal accessories ensures the artwork remains the focal point, while simple frames or surrounding artworks can create a curated gallery effect. Its balanced size makes it a flexible choice for wall spaces without overwhelming the room.

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.
