The Unikko pattern on this heavy-weight cotton fabric is printed in Helsinki.
This is the medium size print which has a repeat of about 45cm. The image shows the full width of the fabric. Each flower is roughly 20cm wide.
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.
