The Marimekko Unikko bathroom set includes a soap dish and a toothbrush holder, each adorned with Maija Isola’s beloved Unikko pattern. Made of stoneware, both pieces feature a glossy glaze and a beautifully embossed Unikko motif. Beyond the bathroom, the soap dish also makes a charming tray for jewelry, while the Unikko container keeps not only toothbrushes but also pens and other small essentials neatly organized.
All fans of Finnish design surely recognize 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 favorite of Ratia, too. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide.
