Starring Katsuji Wakisaka’s much-loved 1981 Rulla (roll) pattern, our limited-edition Lunar New Year capsule is packed with exclusive collectibles made for celebrating and gifting.
There are no speed limits on the road to happiness – this capsule brings a great deal of confidence and a sense of kindness into our lives. A Marimekko print design from the archive, Katsuji Wakisaka’s Rulla features a roller-skating rabbit that conveys a message of energy and noble beauty.
Japanese designer Katsuji Wakisaka created print patterns for Marimekko from 1968 to 1976 and again in 2001.
Katsuji’s designs are characterized by a free and playful approach to pattern composition and a vivid and exuberant color palette. In 1975, he designed the Bo Boo print – an instant classic upon its introduction. Especially in the United States, Bo Boo inspired a wonderfully varied and colorful assortment of products, including bed linens, towels, bags, and tableware.
