Tiiliskivi cotton-linen fabric $45.20 $56.50

Description

Marimekko’s Tiiliskivi fabric cover features a simple, linen and peach-coloured grid pattern from 1952. Did you know that the classic Marimekko print was designed by the company’s founder, Armi Ratia?

Made of a cotton-linen blend with 48% recycled cotton, 31% organic cotton, and 21% recycled linen, the fabric is printed in Helsinki, Finland. Please note that in a cotton-linen fabric, the print dye is absorbed in the fabric differently than in a 100% cotton fabric – the surface, therefore, feels a little harder.

Armi Ratia

Armi Ratia (1912-1979) was a textile artist, the founder of Marimekko and one of the most famous Finnish entrepreneurs. She was the CEO of Marimekko until 1969 and again 1971 onwards. Ratia studied textile design in Helsinki and graduated in 1935. After graduating she founded her first enterprise, a weaving mill in Vyborg. In 1939 she had to leave the weaving mill as she moved to Helsinki together with her husband Viljo Ratia.

Marimekko's story can be said to have started when Armi Ratia joined Printex, a manufacturer of oilcloths and print fabric owned by Viljo Ratia. She began to acquire bold and colorful patterns for printing. Two years later Marimekko was born.

In the early days of Marimekko, Ratia sketched clothes and patterns on fabrics herself as well, but later on got more interested in marketing. She created the vision for Marimekko and found talented artists to implement it.
