Marimekko Unikko bathroom rug brightens up your bathroom with a large, black-and-white poppy flower designed by Maija Isola. Made from organic cotton, the tufted surface of the bath rug feels delightfully soft under bare feet, and the non-slip backing ensures the mat stays firmly in place. Each mat is unique, as they are individually hand-cut into shape.
The instantly recognizable Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be made at Marimekko. However, textile designer Maija Isola was not one for rules or restrictions – in protest, she designed a complete collection of bold floral patterns. One of them was named Unikko, Finnish for "poppy", and it quickly became a favourite of Ratia, as well. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known patterns, and it adorns a variety of objects from fabrics and bed linen to Sami Ruotsalainen’s clean-lined Oiva tableware collection.
