Marimekko's Unikko Kollaasi poster features a vibrant graphic collage of Maija Isola's iconic floral pattern. Released in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Unikko, this 50 x 70 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.
