Marimekko's Piirto Unikko plate features the iconic floral pattern designed by Maija Isola in a giant size (the name Iso Unikko translates to "big poppy"). The ceramic plate is ideal for serving small snacks or as a tea bag coaster. The small plate is part of Sami Ruotsalainen’s clean-lined Oiva tableware collection that suits both casual and festive settings.

All fans of Finnish design surely recognise Unikko, but have you ever heard the story behind the pattern? Maija Isola created it in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had publicly announced that no floral fabrics would be printed at the design house. Isola did not accept these rules and restrictions without a fight and, in protest, ended up designing an entire collection of bold floral patterns. One of these designs was Unikko – which quickly became a favourite of Ratia, too. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide.
