Marimekko's prints have the ability to merge modern and retro in a timeless way. Called Alku (Initial), the design depicts the seeds from which the flowers of the Eläköön Elämä pattern grew. Together these two patterns celebrate the 10th anniversary of Maija Louekari’s Siirtolapuutarha pattern and Sami Ruotsalainen’s Oiva dishes. Here, it's printed on a machine-washable blend of cotton and linen.
