Marimekko's Unikko Classic Design has assumed a kaleidoscopic range of looks and quises in the last 50 years. Sometimes it has been flamboyant and playful; other times calm, gentle and festive. And each of these moods has been achieved with colour.
In fact, Unikko has blossomed in more than eighty unique colourways over the years, each conveying the mood and spirit of its own time. Maija Isola, for her colourways, looked to weather, contemporary cinema, art, music and even news stories for inspiration. Wherever she travelled, Maija carried along her notebook, writing and drawing about interesting colour patterns. Many of her notebooks are teeming with observations about weather conditions and natural shades of colour.
Around one million meters of fabric are printed in the Marimekko printing mill every year.
Far more than a fashion statement, the philosophy behind the Marimekko dress sparked an entire lifestyle universe. Since the beginning, home products and accessories have also carried the world-famous prints and positive message
The Founder of Marimekko Armi Ratia fostered an exceptional culture of creative freedom for Marimekko’s roster of talented, mostly female artist that still thrives today.
Marimekko’s Helsinki printing factory is a bustling, free-spirited playground of creativity. And it is where the celebrated Marimekko prints come to life. The factory is the heart and soul of the brand – even the headquarters were built around it. Printed in Helsinki
