John Lewis announces exclusive collaboration with winner of BBC’s Interior Design Masters
John Lewis has launched an exclusive collaboration with John Cooper, the winner of BBC One’s Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr.
The show’s sixth series, which started on 10 April, gave novice designers the opportunity to win the chance to design their own homeware collection in collaboration with the retailer’s in-house design team.
The collection includes over 20 items in the categories of bedding, candles, cushions, fabric and table lamps. It also includes a throw, tote and quilt, as well as towels, wall art and a reimagined John Lewis Blocky Chair.
Customers can shop the full range of homewares online on johnlewis.com and there will also be selected pieces available in all 34 John Lewis stores across the UK.

Jason Wilary-Attew, director of home at John Lewis, said: “We’re thrilled to launch our latest collaboration with John, bringing his unique creative vision to life in an exclusive new collection, now available to shop at John Lewis.
“Following in the footsteps of standout partnerships with Sanderson, Collagerie and Matthew Williamson, this launch continues our commitment to championing emerging talent while cementing our position as the home of radically relevant design.
“By blending our own-brand expertise with distinctive, design-led collaborations, we’re proud to offer our customers something truly original and full of character.”
Cooper added: “The opportunity to create my own line of homewares with John Lewis, as a prize for winning BBC’s Interior Design Masters, has been an incredible experience. Together, we have designed homeware rooted in bold design, raw texture, and honest materials.
“It’s a collection with soul, made to bring warmth, character, and a bit of edge into the home. I am extremely proud of the collection and cannot wait to see it in stores.”
