The Tiiliskivi Kitchen Towel is woven rather than printed, so the brick pattern sits in the structure of the linen. Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, designed Tiiliskivi in 1952; its name is the Finnish word for brick, and it reflects her belief in the simple beauty of everyday life. A hanging loop sits on the long edge.
The towel is woven in Lithuania from 100% linen, a fibre that dries quickly and softens with use. It measures 47 x 70 cm and comes in Off-White / Chestnut. Wash it before use at the stated temperature and without fabric conditioner; shrinkage is a maximum of 6%.
Keep it by the sink for glasses and dishes, and pair it with the Tiiliskivi runner 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.
Materials
- Organic cotton terry
- Embossed and two-toned; wash before first use and skip fabric softener to keep it absorbent.
- Linen
- Strong and quick drying, and it softens with every wash.
- Organic and recycled cotton
- 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton in the 200 TC bedding.
Armi Ratia was born in Pälkjärvi in Karelia and founded Marimekko in Helsinki in 1951 with her husband Viljo Ratia. She is one of Finland's most famous female entrepreneurs. In 1949 she spotted the young Maija Isola, and she shaped the house's bold, everyday approach to print.
