Marimekko Unikko cushion cover, 50 x 50 cm, beige – linen – rose

Marimekko’s Unikko cushion cover features the iconic floral pattern by Maija Isola in gentle hues of beige, cotton and rose. Made from a blend of recycled and organic cotton as well as recycled linen, the cushion cover adds a cozy yet bold touch to the sofa, armchair or bed.

The instantly recognizable Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be made at Marimekko. However, textile designer Maija Isola was not one for rules or restrictions – in protest, she designed a complete collection of bold floral patterns. One of them was named Unikko, Finnish for “poppy”, and it quickly became a favorite of Ratia, as well. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko’s best-known patterns, and it adorns a variety of objects from fabrics and bed linen to Sami Ruotsalainen’s clean-lined Oiva tableware collection.
