Marimekko Seireeni Blue And White Cushion Cover
The cushion lining with Almena motif is made of cotton and linen mixed, printed in Helsinki. The lining has a hidden hidden on one side. Simple things are the general topic of Sabine Finkenauer's art. The forms that appear in his work represent an artistic journey from the figurative to the abstract while evoking memories of family and daily forms. Some time ago, Sabine found pieces of carved wood of an old chess set in the area of the flea market of El Rastro in Madrid, Spain. Created with oil pastel sticks on paper, Almena is a composition with a shape reminiscent of a tower. Almena is the Spanish word for Merlo, who is an architectural pinnacle on a defensive structure.
It started with a dress. In the 1950s, Marimekko’s trail-blazing founder Armi Ratia created the brand’s very first pieces; a vividly printed range of liberating dresses that reflected her confident spirit. Contrary to the traditional attire of the time, Ratia’s designs embraced looser silhouettes, bold, colourful prints and a free-spirited sensibility made to empower women. This legacy still lives on today, and Marimekko’s eye-catching range of printed pieces now extends to accessories, homewares, ceramics and more. Each piece is expertly printed in the brand’s Helsinki printing factory and the Finnish company’s vibrant motifs are instantly recognisable – give a special friend or loved one a stylish surprise with a playful printed tote bag, chic mug or colourful set of notecards.
