The Marimekko Unikko Collectible Ornament 2 pcs is a set of two ornaments in the Unikko pattern, each stamped on the bottom with the Marimekko mark and the year of production, so the pair can be dated and collected. Unikko dates from 1964, when Marimekko collections held almost no florals: Maija Isola was drawn to the theme and designed a complete range of new floral prints, and the poppy now stands for creativity.
The ornaments are made in Thailand from white stoneware, one finished with a pink glaze and one with a clear glaze. They measure 7 x 7 cm and 6 x 9 cm, and the set comes in Pink / Cranberry / White / Plum in the Marimekko gift box.
Add a pair each year to build a collection, or give one set as a gift, and see the other ornaments in the Marimekko collection.

Marimekko
The 1964 Unikko poppy in wax, cork and stoneware
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Maija Isola drew Unikko in 1964, defying Armi Ratia's dislike of floral prints. These small objects turn the poppy into a shape you can hold: a hand-cast candle, cork placemats cut to the flower's outline, relief stoneware for the bathroom and dated collectible ornaments.

The poppy as a shape
Candle, placemat and tealight holder take the outline of the flower itself.
Dated for collectors
Collectible ornaments are stamped underneath with the Marimekko mark and the year.
Recycled stoneware
The bathroom pieces are made in Portugal from Ecogres, 90% recycled ceramics.
Small, easy gifts
The ornaments and candle holder arrive in a Marimekko gift box.
A flower against the rules
Armi Ratia felt real flowers could not be captured in print, so Marimekko had almost no florals. Isola answered in 1964 with a whole range of them. Unikko, the poppy, became the house emblem of creativity.
Cast, cut and pressed
The candle is hand-cast in paraffin wax in Portugal, so each one varies slightly. The placemat is cut from cork to the poppy's outline. The bathroom beaker and soap dish carry the flower in relief.
Piirto Unikko in gold
Piirto Unikko, drawn in 2022, reduces the poppy to airy graphic lines. On the candle holder and the collectible ornament it appears as a golden decal on a pink glaze, a quieter way to bring the flower into a room.
Materials
- Paraffin wax
- Burn on a heat-proof surface, away from draughts, and never leave a lit candle unattended.

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.
