Marimekko Unikko double bed cover, 260 x 260 cm, grey – sand

Marimekko’s Unikko quilt features Maija Isola’s iconic floral pattern in serene gray hues. Made of organic cotton, the quilted Unikko double bed cover is filled with light and voluminous recycled polyester wadding, making it luxuriously soft and inviting. The reversible bedspread features a solid color on one side.

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.
