The Unikko Satin Pillow Case brings the poppy to bed on a smooth cotton sateen ground. Unikko was born in 1964, when Maija and Kristina Isola set out to create a whole range of floral prints at a time when almost no flowers appeared in Marimekko collections, and the poppy has stood for creativity ever since.
Made in Pakistan from 220 thread count 100% organic cotton sateen, it fits pillows of 50 x 70 cm and 50 x 75 cm and comes in Plum, Pink, Elmwood and Toffee. Wash before use, wash separately for the first three washes, follow the washing temperature given and allow for shrinkage of up to 5%. It arrives in a pouch made of the same fabric.
Pair it with plain sateen bed linen, or mix it with a second Unikko colourway for a fuller look. Explore more prints in the Marimekko collection.

Unikko, the 1964 poppy, for bed and bath
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Maija Isola painted Unikko in 1964, at a time when Marimekko's founder Armi Ratia kept florals out of the collections. The poppy has stood for creativity ever since. Here it covers duvet covers and pillow cases, organic cotton towels, bathrobes, a bath mat and a shower curtain.

The original poppy
An abstraction of a flower, not a likeness, and a symbol of joy.
Bedding in three weaves
Crisp percale, smooth sateen or a cotton and linen blend.
Towels in three textures
Printed terry, embossed Solid and debossed Piirto Unikko.
Easy to combine
Big Unikko, Pieni and Mini Unikko mix on one bed or in one bathroom.

A flower against the rules
When Isola drew Unikko, Marimekko's collections were made up almost entirely of abstract prints. She answered with a whole range of florals. Unikko was the one that stayed, and it is still in production today.

Three weaves for bed
The percale is 200 thread count, 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton, crisp and cool to sleep in. The sateen is 220 thread count organic cotton with a soft sheen. A 50% cotton, 50% linen blend gives a more textured feel.

In the bathroom
Most towels are organic cotton terry made in Portugal. Printed Unikko carries the colour. Unikko Solid has the pattern embossed into the pile, and Piirto Unikko, an airy line version, is debossed into heavyweight terry.
Materials
- Cotton percale
- A tight plain weave that feels crisp and cool; it softens with every wash.
- Organic cotton terry
- Absorbent loops for towels, robes and slippers; wash before first use.
- Organic cotton sateen
- A satin weave with a smooth, quietly lustrous face.
Maija Isola was hired by Armi Ratia in 1949 to design for Printex, the company that became Marimekko. Over almost four decades she created more than 500 prints. Her daughter Kristina Isola joined Marimekko at 18, and from 1980 to 1987 the two designed patterns together.
Using it at home
How do I wash it?
Follow the temperature on the care label and wash with similar colours. Wash new towels and bedding once before first use.
Which pillow case fits my pillow?
Cases come in 50 x 60, 50 x 70/75, 60 x 63/65 x 65, 65 x 65 and 80 x 80 cm. Match the case to the pillow size.
What are the pillow cases made of?
They are 200 thread count cotton percale of 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton, a crisp, cool-feeling fabric.
Do they match the Unikko duvet covers?
Yes. The cases are printed with the same Unikko poppy in the same percale as the duvet covers.
Who designed Unikko?
Maija Isola drew Unikko in 1964, when Marimekko collections held almost no florals.
