The Tiiliskivi Guest Towel carries Marimekko's brick pattern as an embossed weave, and each side is worked in a different colour so the towel can be turned to suit the room. Tiiliskivi was designed by Armi Ratia in 1952, and its name, Finnish for brick, reflects the founder's belief in the simple beauty of everyday life.
Woven in Portugal from 100% organic cotton terry, the towel measures 30 x 50 cm and comes in Brick / Plum / Hay. Wash it before use with like colours at the stated temperature and in a full machine, and leave out the fabric conditioner so the terry stays absorbent. Shrinkage is a maximum of 6%.
Keep one by the basin for guests, or build a set with the matching hand towel from the Marimekko collection.

Drawn by the founder
One of the oldest designs in the house, by Armi Ratia herself.
Built into the cloth
On towels, linen and the bedspread the bricks are woven or knitted, not printed.
Two sides, two looks
Terry towels and the jacquard bedspread show different colours on each face.
A whole home
Bedding, bath, kitchen and table textiles plus fabric by the metre.
The beauty of a brick
Ratia took the most ordinary building block as her motif. The plain grid of Tiiliskivi carries her belief that everyday things deserve good design, and it sits easily beside bolder Marimekko prints.
Felt as much as seen
Bath towels and the bathrobe are organic cotton terry from Portugal with the bricks embossed in relief. The bedspread is a jacquard knit in organic cotton, light on dark on one side and dark on light on the other.
Linen for the table
The kitchen towel is woven in Lithuania from 100% linen. The runner and placemats mix organic cotton and linen, with edges turned and sewn to the back so they lie flat on the table.
