Marimekko’s Unikko cushion cover features Maija Isola’s iconic floral pattern in fresh red-blue hues. The design is printed in Helsinki, Finland, on fabric made from 100% organic cotton, bringing a crisp and natural feel to any decor.
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.
