The Marimekko Unikko Guest Towel is a small terry towel carrying the Unikko poppy, sized for a basin, a cloakroom or a guest bathroom. Unikko was drawn by Maija ja Kristina Isola in 1964, at a time when almost no floral designs appeared in Marimekko collections; Maija Isola was fascinated by flowers and went on to create a whole range of new floral prints, and the poppy has stood for creativity ever since.
It is woven in Portugal from 100% organic cotton terry and measures 30 x 50 cm, in Off-White / Blueberry, Off-White / Bronze, Off-White / Linen, Plum / Pink, Off-White / Dark Blue, Pink / Red and Off-White / Sage. Wash before use with like colours at the temperature given, in a full machine and without fabric conditioner; shrinkage is up to 6%.
Hang a pair by the basin and echo the print with a matching hand or bath towel from the Marimekko collection.

Unikko, the 1964 poppy, for bed and bath
DesignerMaija Isola1927–2001
Maija Isola painted Unikko in 1964, at a time when Marimekko's founder Armi Ratia kept florals out of the collections. The poppy has stood for creativity ever since. Here it covers duvet covers and pillow cases, organic cotton towels, bathrobes, a bath mat and a shower curtain.

The original poppy
An abstraction of a flower, not a likeness, and a symbol of joy.
Bedding in three weaves
Crisp percale, smooth sateen or a cotton and linen blend.
Towels in three textures
Printed terry, embossed Solid and debossed Piirto Unikko.
Easy to combine
Big Unikko, Pieni and Mini Unikko mix on one bed or in one bathroom.
A flower against the rules
When Isola drew Unikko, Marimekko's collections were made up almost entirely of abstract prints. She answered with a whole range of florals. Unikko was the one that stayed, and it is still in production today.
Three weaves for bed
The percale is 200 thread count, 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton, crisp and cool to sleep in. The sateen is 220 thread count organic cotton with a soft sheen. A 50% cotton, 50% linen blend gives a more textured feel.
In the bathroom
Most towels are organic cotton terry made in Portugal. Printed Unikko carries the colour. Unikko Solid has the pattern embossed into the pile, and Piirto Unikko, an airy line version, is debossed into heavyweight terry.
Materials
- Cotton percale
- A tight plain weave that feels crisp and cool; it softens with every wash.
- Organic cotton terry
- Absorbent loops for towels, robes and slippers; wash before first use.
- Organic cotton sateen
- A satin weave with a smooth, quietly lustrous face.
Maija Isola was hired by Armi Ratia in 1949 to design for Printex, the company that became Marimekko. Over almost four decades she created more than 500 prints. Her daughter Kristina Isola joined Marimekko at 18, and from 1980 to 1987 the two designed patterns together.
Using it at home
How do I wash it?
Follow the temperature on the care label and wash with similar colours. Wash new towels and bedding once before first use.
Solid, Piirto or printed towels?
Printed towels carry the coloured poppy. Solid and Piirto Unikko are one colour, with the flower pressed into the terry.
Which towel size should I choose?
Mini towels of 30 x 30 or 32 x 32 cm suit hands and faces, guest towels of 30 or 32 x 50 cm suit a cloakroom, and hand towels of 50 x 70 or 50 x 100 cm suit daily use at the basin.
What are the towels made of?
Most are 100% organic cotton terry; the printed Unikko Mini Towel is a 65% organic cotton and 35% linen terry.
Who designed Unikko?
Maija Isola drew the Unikko poppy in 1964, at a time when Marimekko collections held almost no florals.
