Designs to celebrate a centenary
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Finland's independence, Finnish design house Marimekko is introducing a range of new products with a bold design.
The anniversary pattern will be accompanied by a variety of other new designs and new versions of beloved Marimekko classics. The design house will launch a pattern called Veljekset (brothers) created by Maija Louekari, one of Marimekko's younger generation print designers. The design is inspired by Finnish folk tales and depicts the wildlife inhabiting Finland’s forests.
Another pattern is the Siirtolapuutarha (city garden) print, designed by Maija Louekari. Inspired by a journey from a bustling city to a lush city garden overflowing with flowers and vegetables, the Pieni Siirtolapuutarha products are now available in new colours. Ruutu-Unikko (Grid Unikko) print, created by Maija ja Emma Isola, is a new iteration of the iconic Unikko pattern. Its colourful grid-like motif was designed by Maija and Emma Isola to honour Unikko’s 50th anniversary.
The celebratory collection will be available in more than 150 Marimekko stores as well as the shops of many other retailers worldwide, Thailand included, all year round.
