Marimekko's Piccolo cushion cover features a striped pattern designed by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi in 1953, with multi-colored stripes painted in free brush strokes.

In fact, the Piccolo cushion cover subtly echoes the legendary shirt: it is finished with a similar metal button closure as a charming detail. Made from 100% organic cotton, the Piccolo cushion cover brings a touch of timeless Marimekko heritage to any interior.
