When Marimekko was founded in 1951, its unparalleled printed fabrics gave it a strong and unique identity. Armi Ratia, the founder, commissioned young artists to create distinctive fabric patterns, which resulted in boldly coloured, non-figurative designs that revolutionised the tradition of textile printing. Marimekko was traveling in the boundary between art and design long before anyone even talked about it.

 

 

The heart of Marimekko translates into strong, timeless designs in clothing and other accessories as well as interior decoration ranging from furnishing fabrics to tableware. All with the aim of creating aesthetic experiences for every moment in life for people of all ages.
