V&A inspired, John Lewis designed. The eclectic mix of pattern at the V&A inspired a desire to blend motifs: old with new, nature with geometry, soft with graphic, simple with decorative. By morphing decorative motifs and contemporary geometric patterns together, the intention is to generate a sense of modernity, capturing both past and present. When interpreting the patterns into a wallpaper, we wanted to capture some of the drama, opulence and rich colour found in the Museum's collection of Japanese art and design. We have worked with an expert UK based printer to create a large scale digitally printed panel which acts as a modern interpretation of a traditional screen or wall hanging using subtle shimmer and metallics to emulate the lustre of woven and embroidered silks.
