Marimekko Nanuk

Capturing a polar bear in an unusual setting, Marimekko designer Teresa Moorhouse created this endearing print which delights both children and adults. Moorhouse cultivates ideas for her prints from important emotional states and moments such as childhood memories, animals and nature. Pouring out her emotions into colorful and vivid imagery, the nature-inspired Nanuk print features a large white polar bear amid a large tropical forest full of leaves and flowers. Oddly placed, the juxtaposition of a polar bear in the tropics brings a jovial nature to the print which is simply irresistible.
