Marimekko P. Unikko 50x50 Cushion Cover

Marimekko’s Pieni Unikko cushion cover features the iconic floral pattern by Maija Isola, this time in dark blue. The cushion cover is made of 100% cotton, half of which is recycled. Please note that the cover comes without an inner cushion.

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 favourite 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.
