DesignerLaird Borrelli-Persson
Marimekko: The Art of Printmaking was published by Yale University Press in 2021 for the company's 70th anniversary. Laird Borrelli-Persson drew on the archives and unpublished images to follow Marimekko's patterns from the designer's sketch to screen-printed fabric.

From sketch to fabric
Case studies show how drawings turn into screen-printed cloth.
Straight from the archive
Archival photos and old advertisements sit beside new campaign images.
Inside the factory
A full section visits the Herttoniemi works where the fabrics have always been printed.
A pattern sourcebook
A rich section of prints makes it a reference to return to.
Four sections
The book moves through the Marimekko philosophy and lifestyle, the Herttoniemi printing factory, a sourcebook of patterns and plans for a more sustainable future. Each part mixes archive material with newly commissioned photography.
Inside the print works
Marimekko prints about one million metres of fabric in Helsinki each year, on flatbed and rotary machines. The book shows how screens, colour recipes and test prints turn a designer's sketch into a finished length.
Patterns and people
Alongside the famous prints, the book follows the designers behind them and the collaborations the company is known for. It reads as a company history and also works as a visual reference for anyone who loves pattern.
