The Iso Piccolo Duvet Cover is a double cover in the wide brushed stripe drawn from Piccolo, which Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi painted in 1953 in her first year at Marimekko. Hand openings at the top corners make changing the duvet easier, the bottom opening closes with metal buttons, and the edges are finished with double topstitching.
It is made from 200 thread count cotton percale with 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton, a cloth with a naturally lively colour where small variations appear. The cover measures 240 x 220 cm in Off-White / Emerald and comes in a pouch of the same material. Wash before use, separately for three washes, with like colours.
Dress the bed with the matching pillowcase from the Marimekko collection.

Piccolo: the 1953 brushstroke stripe, still at Marimekko
DesignerVuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi
Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi painted the Piccolo stripe freehand in 1953, the year she joined Marimekko. In 1956 it became the Jokapoika shirt, Marimekko's longest-running garment. Here the stripe and its broad Iso Piccolo version cover cushion covers, bedding and a tote bag.

Painted by hand
Vivid brushstrokes give the stripe its loose, hand-painted look.
Stripes that overlap
Where stripes cross, a third colour appears.
Over 70 years in use
Marimekko designers still work with the stripe today.
Sizes for the home
Cushion covers, pillow cases, a duvet cover and a tote.
Painted by hand
Eskolin-Nurmesniemi painted Piccolo freehand. The stripes overlap so the base fabric does not show through, and the overlap creates a third colour. It has stayed in Marimekko's collections since 1953.
From shirt to home
Three years after the stripe was painted, the Jokapoika shirt cut from it reached the shops and the streets. Today the stripe runs across cushions, some printed in two directions, and a cotton tote printed in Helsinki.
Iso Piccolo in bed
Iso Piccolo enlarges the stripe for bedding. The 200 thread count percale is 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton. The duvet cover has hand openings at the top corners, metal buttons at the bottom and double topstitching.
Materials
- Organic cotton canvas
- A sturdy weave for cushion covers and the tote; wash with similar colours.
- Cotton percale
- Crisp, cool bedding in 200 thread count, softening with each wash.
- Cotton and linen blend
- Recycled and organic cotton with linen in one cushion cover, for a dry, textured feel.
Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi worked at Marimekko from 1953 to 1960. She replaced the tight waist of fifties fashion with loose, architectural shapes, often cut with a single seam. Her silhouettes were ahead of their time, and Jokapoika, her 1956 shirt, is still made.
Using it at home
What is the difference between Piccolo and Iso Piccolo?
Iso Piccolo is a broader version of the same brushed stripe, scaled up for bedding.
Does Piccolo mix with other Marimekko prints?
Yes. A plain stripe sits well beside florals such as Unikko on a bed or sofa.
What size is the duvet cover?
240 x 220 cm, made for a double duvet.
What is it made of?
200 TC cotton percale, 75% organic cotton and 25% recycled cotton.
How do I wash it?
Turn it inside out and wash with similar colours at the temperature on the care label.
