The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of Unikko (Poppy), one of the most recognized Marimekko print designs in the world. To celebrate, Maija Isola's signature flowers are blown up in size. Featuring two celebratory poppies in a lovely dark cherry, pink, grey and cream colorway, the 100% cotton sateen material offers a smooth and lustrous finish. The dramatic size makes this fabric ideal for creating large-scale projects such as a statement wall hanging, curtains or a tablecloth, while the ultra smooth sateen drapes beautifully as a dress. Made in Finland where this design was born 60 years ago, this special-edition fabric is the perfect way to commemorate the famous flowers that have proven their enduring impact on Finnish design and beyond.
Please order carefully. Cut fabric cannot be returned.
