The Oiva vase by Marimekko, crafted from white ceramic, is adorned with the beloved Unikko pattern. What could be a more beautiful home for flowers than a vase decorated with flowers?
Maija Isola created Unikko pattern 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.
