Marimekko's Unikko kitchen towel features the iconic floral pattern by Maija Isola in soft shades. The quick-drying tea towel is made from cotton-linen and is ideal for both drying hands or dishes and covering up that batch of cinnamon roll dough left to rise.
The Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be designed at Marimekko. Maija Isola did not accept rules or restrictions and designed, in protest, a complete collection of bold floral patterns: Unikko, a Finnish word that means poppy. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known patterns and is recognised worldwide.
