TOP 5: Colors and patterns – the most inspiring new products of the month
Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide, now decorating a warm throw and a stylish cushion.
Poppies for summer and winter
Marimekko's Vesi Unikko throw pairs Maija Isola's iconic floral pattern with simple stripes typical of the Finnish design house. The print was created in collaboration with Isola's family to celebrate the Unikko pattern's 60th anniversary.
Made from luxurious jacquard-woven wool, the Vesi Unikko blanket not only embraces and warms freezing winter nights but also transforms into a picnic blanket on balmy summer days. Besides, isn't there already a subtle promise of spring in these cheerful shades of bright yellow?
