Set your autumn table with the Unikko serving plate and complete the look with other Marimekko's season novelties, such as the Butticula candleholder.

Blooming table

Marimekko’s Unikko serving plate offers a fresh take on Maija Isola’s beloved floral motif. Shaped like a poppy, the ceramic piece is just as perfect for presenting seasonal treats as it is for adding a decorative touch to your interior. The burgundy glaze brings warmth and elegance to autumn meals and effortlessly carries into festive gatherings at year’s end.

The Venla tablecloth is woven from melange yarns, where the interplay of two tones creates a vibrant, nuanced surface.

Woven with heritage

Often underestimated, the tablecloth is the quiet centerpiece of every table setting, protecting the surface while setting the right mood.

The Venla tablecloth by Lapuan Kankurit does all this and more: it’s a tribute to Finnish craftsmanship and literary traditions. Designed by Elina Helenius, the linen cloth draws inspiration from the rustic shirts in Aleksis Kivi’s Seven Brothers and from Venla, who was the admired character in this classic novel.

Muuto's Pair candleholder offers endless opportunities for play and creativity.

A spark of everyday magic

Light a candle, and suddenly even a weekday dinner feels like a celebration. Muuto’s Pair candleholder invites you to play with color and height to set just the right mood. Combine several candleholders for a striking centerpiece, or let a single one shine on its own as the brightest spark at the table.
