Seireeni rug

Description

The Seireeni rug, inspired by Maija Isola's iconic Marimekko design, stands as a testament to timeless charm and bold aesthetics. Designed by Isola in the 1960s, the beguiling Seireeni pattern draws inspiration from the designer's travels in Greece and the gentle movement of the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. The attractive pattern also echoes the mystical songs of the sirens ("seireeni" in Finnish) described in Greek mythology.

Created in collaboration with esteemed Dutch rugmaker Brink & Campman, this Marimekko rug has a modern, minimalist appearance that makes it an ideal complement to contemporary, Scandi-style spaces. Meticulously hand-tufted from the finest New Zealand wool, this rug showcases an understated colour palette of cream shades. Place the rug in the bedroom or living room – and surrender to the call of the sirens!

Maija Isola

Maija Isola (1927–2001) is probably Marimekko’s most famous designer. The Finnish artist designed her first printed textiles in 1949 for Printex Oy, Marimekko’s predecessor. She worked as head designer of Marimekko’s interior fabrics until 1987. She also had an illustrious career as a visual artist.

Maija Isola was a tremendously versatile and bold artist. She interpreted the events of her era from her own unique perspective and foresaw future trends. Her body of work includes over 500 prints – a brilliant selection of patterns representing different themes and techniques. She drew inspiration from traditional folk art, modern visual art, nature and her countless trips around the world. In the 1980s, she began designing fabrics with her daughter, Kristina. Together they produced fresh floral fabrics, bold abstract patterns and ornamental designs that became Marimekko staples. When Maija passed away in 2001, Kristina carried on her mother’s tradition, producing new color waves of Maija’s classic designs.

Maija Isola’s most well-known pattern is the flowery Unikko. The Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics are designed at Marimekko. Maija Isola did not accept rules or restrictions and designed in protest a complete collection of bold floral patterns: Unikko, a Finnish word that means poppy. Today, Unikko is probably more popular than ever, and an innumerable amount of different Unikko pattern products is available. The range of available colours is also very large.
