Marimekko is a Finnish design company renowned for its original prints and colours.  When Marimekko was founded in 1951, its unparalleled printed fabrics gave it a strong and unique identity.

Marimekko's famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house's collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.
