Marimekko unikko blue and beige pot holder for the kitchen
Made of unbleached cotton, this baked glove has the full unikko motif, printed in Helsinki. The baked glove has a padded padding and a ring to hang it.
This product was made with natural indigo molded fabric, a vegetable tincture extracted from the Finnish ford. The color can fade slightly during the first washes and use.
The famous Poppies motif of Marimekko Unikko was born in 1964 in a period in which the design home collections mainly presented abstract prints. The designer Maija island wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.
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.
