Marimekko's Unikko Kollaasi plate features a graphic collage of Maija Isola's iconic poppy pattern. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Unikko, the rectangular plate is ideal for serving savoury snacks or perhaps a few cookies. The ceramic Piccolo plate is part of the Oiva tableware range, designed by Sami Ruotsalainen, and is easily combinable with monochrome dishware as well as other Marimekko patterns, providing effortless elegance to both casual and festive occasions. 

All fans of Finnish design surely recognize 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.
