About this Fabric This cotton fabric features the Unikko pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The fabric is 100% organic cotton. Unikko, symbolizing creativity, was born in a time when hardly any floral designs were included in Marimekko’s collections.

Sustainability and diversity are both part of Marimekko’s DNA as they aim to produce timeless, functional, and durable products that bring long-lasting joy. The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of Unikko, one of the most recognized Marimekko print designs in the world. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity. Please note that fabric is final sale.
