The Marimekko Unikko Fabric Napkin 3 pcs is a set of three napkins, each showing a different flower from the Unikko pattern, with the fabrics printed in Helsinki and the edges stitched. Unikko dates from 1964, when Marimekko collections held almost no florals: Maija Isola was drawn to the theme and designed a complete range of new floral prints, and the poppy now stands for creativity.
The set is made in Estonia from a cotton and linen blend of 57% cotton and 43% linen, and each napkin measures 45 x 45 cm. The set comes in Off-White / Cranberry / Rose and White / Hay / Sand / Emerald. Wash at the temperature given; shrinkage is up to 6%.
Lay the three flowers around a table so each place setting differs, and see the other table textiles in the Marimekko collection.

Marimekko
Unikko from tea towel to wool throw, since 1964
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Maija Isola drew the Unikko poppy in 1964, and it became Marimekko's emblem of creativity. These textiles carry it at every scale: Pieni Unikko for kitchen pieces, the classic size for tablecloths, Iso Unikko and Piirto Unikko for woven wool throws and cushions.

One flower, many scales
Small poppies on pot holders, large blooms on throws, drawn lines on cushions.
Printed in Helsinki
The printed cloths come from Marimekko's own factory in Helsinki.
Natural fibres
Organic cotton sateen, cotton and linen towels, and wool throws.
Two-faced blankets
Jacquard blankets show the pattern in reversed colours on the back.
The flower Ratia didn't want
Armi Ratia thought real flowers could not be printed well, so early Marimekko had almost no florals. Isola drew a whole range anyway. Unikko, the poppy, stuck and has stayed in production ever since.
Kitchen to table
Pot holders, oven mittens and aprons wear Pieni Unikko in organic cotton. Tea towels and napkins mix organic cotton and linen. The tablecloths are unbleached organic cotton sateen in 140 x 140 and 135 x 250 cm.
Woven in the round
The blankets and throws are jacquard woven or knitted, so the poppy is built into the cloth itself. Iso Unikko uses a recycled wool blend; Piirto Unikko, the drawn 2022 version, uses RWS certified wool.
Materials
- Organic cotton sateen
- Smooth, slightly lustrous tablecloth cloth; wash at the temperature on the label.
- Cotton and linen
- Absorbent and quick drying for tea towels and napkins.
- Wool and wool blends
- Air the throws often and wash them only on a wool programme or by hand.
Isola was spotted by Armi Ratia in 1949 and worked for Printex and Marimekko until 1987. Over those years she drew more than 500 prints, among them Kivet, Lokki, Kaivo and Unikko. She painted freely with a brush, a way of working she called dancing with a brush.
