This Marimekko cotton carries the Kaivo pattern, printed in Helsinki and sold by the metre. Maija Isola had the idea for Kaivo, meaning well, in 1964 while fetching water: she dropped the bucket in and watched the rippling circles spread across the surface.
The fabric is 100% organic cotton with an 88 cm pattern repeat, and it comes in White / Black. Wash with like colours, follow the washing temperature given and allow for shrinkage of up to 4%. Made in Finland.
Stretch a panel as wall art or make it into a bold curtain, alongside other graphic pieces from the Marimekko collection.

Archive classics
Isola built Kivet (1956) from circles cut with scissors, likely after the rough stones on her atelier grounds. Kaivo (1964) came from watching ripples spread when a bucket dropped into a well. Hennika (1958) is a block stripe by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi.
From the 2000s
Erja Hirvi's Lumimarja (2004) began with a winter branch hung with berries. Anna Danielsson's Bottna (2002) draws water lily leaves. Aino-Maija Metsola's Juhannustaika (2007) paints midsummer flowers, and her Kuuskajaskari (2012) carries autumn winds.
New in 2025
Danish textile artist Vibeke Rohland painted Rutsjebane in 2025 for Marimekko's Artist in Residence programme. Loose, overlapping stripes give it movement. Rutsjebane is Danish for roller coaster.

Using it at home
How much fabric should I order?
Measure the project and round up to whole pattern repeats so the print lines up across panels.
How do I wash these fabrics?
Wash with like colours at the temperature on the care label. Wash before sewing to allow for shrinkage.
Which prints suit curtains?
Large repeats such as Hennika (177 cm) and Juhannustaika (125 cm) show best on wide windows; Kuuskajaskari linen filters light.
Which suit cushions and small projects?
Kivet and Lumimarja, with 62 cm repeats, fit well on cushions, bags and table linen.
Are the fabrics printed in Finland?
Yes. They are printed at Marimekko's factory in Helsinki.
