 Pick Of The Bunch - Jason D’s Vibrant Floral Artwork

It’s official: ‘brights’ are in and this season we’re adorning our wardrobes and our homes with a cheerful palette of cheeky hues, acid tones and eye-popping candy colours.

With their eye-catching designs and bursts of floral character, Jason.D’s exclusive digital prints are right on trend. So, rather than getting the paint brush and paint pots out, why not add a shot of colour with a vibrant floral print from Jason.D’s signature collection?

So Sanderson…..

So Sanderson..

This year, marks the 150th anniversary of the quintessentially English brand Sanderson and what better way to celebrate than by collaborating with the country’s favourite retailer, John Lewis, which has worked closely with Sanderson to develop a beautiful collection of limited edition furniture and accessories.

John Lewis has taken its most popular armchairs Lux, Camford and Compton and upholstered them in elegant and distinctive designs, chosen from the Sanderson archive: Each armchair is not only exclusive to John Lewis, but will also be limited editions with only 50 of each design being made. Lux has been upholstered in Sanderson’s gorgeous floral Weybridge fabric, an original 1970s print, whilst the Camford features the zesty lime 1930s Swallow print. The Compton in our picture has been upholstered in Sanderson’s William Turner 1910 Roslyn fabric (indigo and gold).

Dan Cooper, upholstery buyer at John Lewis comments: “As another company with a long history in furnishing fabrics, John Lewis was delighted to work with Sanderson on this project. All the fabrics developed for the 150th anniversary event are superb as well as being perfect for anyone who appreciates a more adventurous, colourful twist on a classic.
