Marimekko's Unikko 60th Anniversary poster features a retro-inspired collage celebrating the 60th anniversary of Maija Isola's Unikko pattern. This 70 x 100 cm poster is printed on recycled paper and comes packaged in a cardboard box.
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.
