The Unikko Toothbrush Holder is a small ceramic beaker with the poppy pressed into its surface in relief. Unikko was created in 1964, when Marimekko's collections were dominated by abstract prints and Maija Isola decided to draw an entire range of florals instead; today the flower stands for creativity.
Made in Portugal from 100% recycled stoneware, it measures 3.2 x 3.2 cm and stands 4 cm high. The inside carries a clear glaze while the outside is left naturally rough, and the recycled material gives each piece a lively colour with small variations between them. It comes in Sandstone and Volcanic Rock, and is dishwasher safe.
Set it by the basin with the matching bathroom accessory set from 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.
