Marimekko Ciotola Seppel 4DL
This set includes two small unikko dishes in the shape of a flower made of white stoneware. It is recommended to wash the hand plates. Although they can be washed in the washing machine, the unique design could be at risk of damage if in contact with other dishes. This product celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Unikko model and presents the Marimekko logo imprinted on the bottom. The set is packaged in the 60th anniversary box of UNIKKO. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international printing icon of the press. The founder of Marimekko, Ratia weapons, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in the press, which is why the floral prints had previously been excluded from the Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed UNIKKO because it was an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic surrender. Today Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, perfectly integrated in the identity of the Marimekko design.
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.
