The Pieni Kurre Pot Holder is printed in Helsinki with the small-scale version of Aino-Maija Metsola's 2023 squirrel pattern, a lively brood gathering and hiding nuts that she drew with brush and ink after the squirrels of her childhood yard.
It is padded and fitted with a hanging loop, made from unbleached cotton panama in which half the cotton is recycled, over a filling that is half recycled polyester. Unbleached and recycled fibres give a naturally lively surface, so small differences between pieces appear. It measures 22 x 25 cm in Sky Blue / Multicolour. Keep it away from heating elements and open flame.
Hang it by the hob next to the matching oven mitt from the Marimekko collection.

Hand-drawn in ink
Brush and ink give the squirrels lively, uneven lines.
A childhood memory
The motif comes from the squirrels in the designer's childhood yard.
Printed in Helsinki
The cloth is printed at Marimekko's own factory.
Recycled fibres
Unbleached cotton panama with half the cotton recycled.
Squirrels at work
Kurre shows a busy group of squirrels collecting and stashing nuts. Metsola painted the original on paper with brush and ink, so the lines keep the movement of her hand. The squirrels seem to dart across the cloth.
Small scale for small pieces
The pot holder and oven mitt use Pieni Kurre, the small-scale version. Both are padded, with a filling that is half recycled polyester, and have a hanging loop for the hook by the hob.
A towel with character
The kitchen towel is a blend of 48% recycled cotton, 31% organic cotton and 21% linen, a cloth with a naturally lively surface. It measures 43 x 70 cm and has a hanging loop on the long edge.
