In Finland, the stripes were popularized by Marimekko's designer Annika Rimala, who introduced the iconic Tasaraita collection in 1968. The timeless black-and-white print suits both a minimalist and colorful bedroom, and the high-quality cotton jersey guarantees a good night's sleep.

Highlighted L-leg
If you are afraid of bold prints, rely on one eye-catching stripe! The special edition of Artek's Aalto stool features a hand-painted line. Designer Valerio Di Lucente’s idea was to highlight the most defining element of Alvar Aalto’s design, the L-leg. Multiple stools together create a playful pattern effect.
