John Lewis and Partners’ new collection, the Urban Luxe collection, caught my eye for Spring, Summer. I especially like the warm colour palette of burnt oranges and deep greens. The overall effect is one of style, quality, and sophistication when combined with warm timbers, velvet and black accents.

Christopher Dresser, Botanical lecture diagram, 1855. © V&A Museum.
This diagram shows how Dresser reduced botanical drawings to their core structural elements. He hunted within these basic arrangements of stems, leaves and flowers to discover new models for design. This scientific deconstruction of form and structure was similar in spirit to Owen Jones’s methodical study of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra.
