Marimekko Fabric

Marimekko's fabrics are celebrated for transforming ordinary textiles into extraordinary design statements. With roots as a textile company starting in 1951, Marimekko is a true pioneer in the world of fabric printing. Their fabric products are still printed in Helsinki, Finland at the Marimekko printing factory, ensuring environmentally safe methods and a state-of-the-art printing screen system. The brand's fabric collection features a range of patterns, from the large-scale florals of Unikko to the small polka dots of Räsymatto. The work of both classic and rising Marimekko designers are converted from paper to textile, employing high-quality materials such as cotton, linen, acrylic-coated, and other specialty fabrics. These versatile fabrics can be used to revamp furniture, create custom curtains, display as wall hangings, fashion tablecloths, design your own dresses; the possibilities are truly endless. Marimekko's perfected print and review process ensures high-quality, reliable fabrics for any project you decide to take on. Depending on the scale of the design, Marimekko fabric is either sold by the yard or by the repeat. When multiple yards or repeats of Marimekko fabric are ordered, they stay intact so you can use long-scale prints when needed.

About Finnish Design

Finnish design has a long history and is know for simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. It's trademark designs emerged in the early 20th century, and gained international attention through pioneers like Alvar Aalto in architecture and furniture, as well as companies such as Iittala, Artek, and Marimekko. Their work emphasized clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between beauty and practicality. Everything must have a purpose. Iconic products like the Aalto vase, Artek’s Stool 60, and Marimekko’s bold textile patterns established Finland as a leader in modernist design. Over the next century, Finnish design became synonymous with high quality, technical skill, and timeless aesthetics—qualities that have earned it global recognition, particularly during the postwar years when Nordic design was celebrated worldwide, and still is. Today, Finnish products continue to enjoy international respect, not only for their aesthetic value but also for their reputation of reliability, thoughtful construction, and cultural authenticity.
