The set includes two tea towels in a cotton-linen blend with the Unikko motif. Marimekko's famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house's collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.

Marimekko's Home Continuing collection brings together timeless, permanently available home décor items. The red products embody the vibrant, bold aesthetic of this Finnish brand founded in 1951. These creations, designed to bring joy and color to everyday life, stand out for their graphic design and bright red palette, an emblematic hue that reflects Marimekko's optimism.
The Unikko motif, designed in 1964 by Maija Isola, dominates the red products in the Home Continuing collection. This stylized poppy, with its red petals on a white or beige background, was created in defiance of Armi Ratia, founder of Marimekko, who had initially rejected floral motifs. The boldness of this design transformed Unikko into a global icon, popularized by Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s.
The Home Continuing collection offers a varied range of objects in red. The white stoneware tableware, including plates, bowls and mugs, is designed for everyday use, with dishwasher, oven and freezer compatibility. Textiles, such as cotton or linen fabrics, are ideal for curtains, tablecloths or cushions, offering a warm touch to any space. Accessories, such as bags, pencil cases or towels, as well as linens, such as cushion or comforter covers, allow this dynamic red to be incorporated into a variety of domestic contexts.
