The Marimekko Oiva / Unikko Mug and Plate Set gathers four pieces of the Oiva range by Sami Ruotsalainen in the Unikko print: two mugs of 2.5 dl each and two plates of 20 cm each. Unikko was drawn by Maija Isola in 1964, at a time when Marimekko collections held almost no florals, and the poppy has stood for creativity ever since.
The pieces are made in Thailand from 100% white stoneware and are dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. The set comes in White / Black and arrives packed in a Marimekko logo gift box, ready to give. Remove the sticker from the base before use, as it contains a small amount of metal.
Keep it as a breakfast service for two, or give it as a housewarming present, and build on it with other Oiva pieces from the Marimekko collection.

Unikko on Oiva: the 1964 poppy meets 2009 stoneware
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Oiva is Marimekko's everyday tableware, shaped by Sami Ruotsalainen and launched in 2009. Here it carries Unikko, the poppy Maija Isola drew in 1964. The range covers mugs, cups, bowls, plates, a teapot and jars, plus Unikko plates cut to the outline of the flower.

Built for daily use
White stoneware that goes in the dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer.
Mix and match
Every Oiva shape works with plain white and other Oiva prints.
Plates shaped as poppies
The Unikko plates in stoneware and glass take the flower's petal outline.
From espresso to serving
Sizes run from a 0.5 dl espresso cup to a 1.5 l serving bowl.
Seven words for a shape
Ruotsalainen guided Oiva with seven words: honest, relaxed, natural, practical, durable, modern and grounded. The shapes were meant to stay contemporary for decades and to carry Marimekko's bold prints.
A floral that broke a rule
Armi Ratia believed real flowers could not be printed faithfully, so early Marimekko had almost no florals. Isola drew Unikko anyway, as an abstraction of a flower. It became the house emblem of creativity.
Lay the table freely
Oiva was designed for everyday life, not formal settings. Use the 25 cm plate for dinner, the 20 cm for breakfast, the 5 dl bowl for porridge, and the 4 dl mug for long coffees. Mix printed and plain pieces as you like.
Materials
- White stoneware
- Made in Thailand; dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe.
- Ceramic decal
- The Unikko print is fired onto the glaze, so it holds up to daily washing.
- Maple and cork details
- The teapot handle is maple and the jars close with cork; wash these pieces 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.
Using it at home
Can Oiva / Unikko go in the dishwasher and microwave?
The stoneware cups, mugs, bowls and plates are dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. Remove the base sticker first, as it contains a little metal.
Which mug size should I choose?
The 2.5 dl mug suits coffee and tea; the 4 dl mug suits large lattes and long teas.
Can I combine it with other Oiva prints?
Yes. All Oiva shapes share the same lines, so Unikko, plain white and other prints sit together.
What is the set made of?
100% white stoneware printed with Unikko; the set weighs 1.63 kg.
Can I add more pieces later?
Yes. Single Oiva / Unikko mugs, plates and bowls share the same shapes, so the set can grow.
