The Oiva plate carries the Kukasta Kukkaan print as a ceramic decal. Erja Hirvi painted the pattern in 2024 during a burst of creativity at her summer retreat, catching the many ways flowers appear in nature. The Finnish name translates as from flower to flower, a nod to bumblebees moving among summer blooms.
Made in Thailand from 100% brown stoneware, the plate measures 20 cm across and comes in Stoneware with Plum, Bronze and Terracotta, or White with Vanilla, Terracotta and Plum. It is dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. Oiva tableware is designed by Sami Ruotsalainen.
Use it as a dinner side plate or for cake, and mix the two colourways around one table. Explore more prints in the Marimekko collection.

Oiva: Sami Ruotsalainen's 2009 everyday stoneware
DesignerSami Ruotsalainen
Oiva is the tableware shape Sami Ruotsalainen designed for Marimekko, launched in 2009. Plain white pieces carry the design through form alone, and the same shapes take seasonal prints such as Erja Hirvi's Kukasta kukkaan and Aino-Maija Metsola's Piirto Ketunmarja.

Plain white base
White pieces sit under any printed Oiva and calm a busy table.
Daily tough
Stoneware that goes in the dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer.
Seasonal prints
The same shapes carry florals, drawn berries and dotted glazes.
Thoughtful details
The teapot has a maple handle and the Koppa dish a removable leather handle.

Seven words
Ruotsalainen guided Oiva with seven words: honest, relaxed, natural, practical, durable, modern and grounded. Marimekko asked for pieces that would stay contemporary for a long time and stand up to its bold prints.

No correct way to lay a table
Oiva was designed for everyday home life. Ruotsalainen says there is no correct way to set a table, so plates, bowls and mugs mix freely across sizes, colours and prints. Plain white pieces tie a varied table together.

Brown clay, dotted glaze
Some pieces use brown stoneware. The Kukasta kukkaan plate carries Hirvi's 2024 floral as a decal, and the Koppa serving dish has a multicoloured dotted glaze and a leather handle that lifts off for washing.
Materials
- White and brown stoneware
- Made in Thailand; dense, durable and food safe.
- Maple wood
- On the teapot handle and lid knob; wash by hand and do not soak.
- Leather handle
- On the Koppa dish; remove it before the dish goes in water.
Sami Ruotsalainen took a master's degree in ceramic and glass design at the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 2005. He designed the Maku series for Arabia and the Oiva shapes for Marimekko, with Marimekko's print designers adding the decoration. He now works in Marimekko's design team.
Using it at home
Can Oiva go in the dishwasher, oven and microwave?
The stoneware plates, bowls and mugs are dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. Remove the base sticker first, as it contains a little metal.
Do plain and printed Oiva pieces match?
Yes. All Oiva pieces share the same shapes and sizes, so plain white and printed pieces stack and combine.
What is the 15 x 12 cm plate for?
It suits butter and bread, a single pastry, cheese or a small side dish.
Which plate sizes are there?
The plates come in 25 cm and 20 cm rounds and a 15 x 12 cm small plate, so you can build a full place setting.
Are all the plates the same material?
Most are white stoneware; the Kukasta Kukkaan 20 cm plate is brown stoneware.
