The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of Unikko (Poppy), one of the most recognized Marimekko print designs in the world. To celebrate, this unique take on the famous poppies combines two of designer Maija Isola's patterns in a vibrant yellow and beige colorway. Called Vesi Unikko, the poppies are blown up in size and almost abstract, while the delicate Vesi (water) pattern represents Marimekko's legacy of iconic stripes.
