Marimekko's Iso Unikko pillowcase features the iconic floral pattern by Maija Isola in an oversized, black-and-white version. The pillowcase is made of high-quality organic cotton percale, praised for its breathability and lovely feel against the skin, and it measures 50 cm x 60 cm. Finish the style with Marimekko's Iso Unikko duvet cover.
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.
