Marimekko’s Unikko breakfast set is adorned with Maija Isola’s iconic floral pattern, bathed in fresh hues of green and blue. The ceramic coffee mugs and plates are perfect for brightening up your breakfast table, yet they bring just as much joy to everyday meals and festive occasions alike.

All fans of Finnish design surely recognise Unikko, but have you ever heard the story behind the pattern? Maija Isola created it in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had publicly announced that no floral fabrics would be printed at the design house. Isola did not accept these rules and restrictions without a fight and, in protest, ended up designing an entire collection of bold floral patterns. One of these designs was Unikko, which quickly became a favourite of Ratia, too. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide.
