Unikko
Glass plate
The Unikko flower shaped plate is made of glass. We recommend washing the plate by hand. While it can be machine washed, the unique design may be at risk of damage if in contact with other dishes.
Marimekko glassware items are created using traditional artisanal techniques, which is why they may contain air bubbles and other signs of craftsmanship. Additionally, the size and weight may slightly vary between glassware items. These features are part of the charm of glassware items.
This product celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Unikko pattern and it is packed in the anniversary box.
Unikko, symbolizing creativity, was born in a time when hardly any floral designs were included in Marimekko’s collections. Maija Isola, however, was fascinated by the theme of flowers and decided to create an entire range of novel floral prints.
Unikko
Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko's design identity.
