Select Marimekko Silkkikuikka Bedding is on sale for a limited time.
Marimekko’s Silkkikuikka Bedding features a tri-colored pattern designed by Maija Isola in 1961. Inspired by the movements of the majestic Great Crested Grebe, this pattern is a reflection of these graceful birds and their watery habitat. Cool-hues and repeating wave-like lines gently suggest themes of water, plumage and flight.
