Marimekko Tasaraita duvet cover 150 x 210 cm, black - white
Horizontal, vertical, or irregular? The timeless striped pattern looks refreshing this fall and adorns textiles, interior elements as well as furniture. We present 8 products that will add the classic stripe print to your home.

The pioneer of stripes

In Finland, the stripes were popularized by Marimekko's designer Annika Rimala, who introduced the iconic Tasaraita collection in 1968. The timeless black-and-white print suits both a minimalist and colorful bedroom, and the high-quality cotton jersey guarantees a good night's sleep.

Vertical pattern from Italy

Artek’s Siena gives a little twist to traditional striped patterns. Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1954, the graphic Siena is inspired by the marble tile walls of the medieval cathedral of Piazza del Duomo. The lively and captivating Siena print was recently introduced in new colors and it charms on curtains, sofa cushions, or tablecloths, among other things.

The charm of the colorful Origo, designed by Alfredo Häberli, lies in its versatility and compatibility with other Iittala dishes. Only a few striped items will enliven the whole table setting!

Artek Aalto stool 60 Publics, Special Edition, birch - orange

Highlighted L-leg

If you are afraid of bold prints, rely on one eye-catching stripe! The special edition of Artek's Aalto stool features a hand-painted line. Designer Valerio Di Lucente’s idea was to highlight the most defining element of Alvar Aalto’s design, the L-leg. Multiple stools together create a playful pattern effect.

Horizontal lines

Designed by Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Schou Nordentoft, the ceramic Omaggio vase enlivens the home both individually and in groups, bringing a modern addition to a table or windowsill. The horizontal lines of the vase are a tribute to the ceramic artist Svend Hammershøi, who often utilized a similar pattern in his creations.
