Marimekko design


We saw a program on Marimekko on SBS the other day and it got us thinking that this amazingly bright silk screened pattern might be nice as a piece of art for the lounge. The Unikko pattern was first designed in 1964 and has been popular ever since.

  2. If you can find a copy, check out the book 'Marimekko: Fabric, Fashion, Architecture' - it's amazing! I love Marimekko stuff - there's a shop I go to in Singapore that stocks some of their range, including a few bits of clothing and homewares.

  3. Oh I missed that it would have been a great program. I love Marimekko, I have a tray in the silver birch design and it's so lovely. A print in that fabric would look great on the wall, so bright and cheerful! By the way your house is looking great, it must be so exciting getting more things finished.
