The red and purple Unikko (poppy) pattern is printed onto this unbleached linen fabric, which has a natural rustic feel. Fabric is printed in Helsinki.
This is the large scale print which has a repeat of about 98cm. The second image shows the full width of the fabric.
This classic was created in 1964, after Marimekko founder Armi Ratia publicly proclaimed a ban on flowers in Marimekko prints. Artist Maija Isola defied the order and designed a whole collection of floral patterns that were so fresh and unique that Armi ended up taking eight of them.
