From her sketchbook to your home and wardrobe:
Swedish artist Petra Börner’s wearable art

Collaborating with artists is woven into the fabric of Marimekko’s identity. A seamless continuation of this tradition is the Marimekko Artist Series, where artists are invited to create unique collections in collaboration with Marimekko.

The Pre-spring 2025 Home collection reveals three stunning, floral patterns created by Swedish, Londonbased artist Petra Börner:
Vildstjälk, Kraftmo & Pistilla.

Petra’s vibrant designs, such as  Vildstjälk  for home products, presented exciting challenges for the artwork studio. Achieving the desired pattern repeats required precision, expertise, and a keen artistic eye. The  Vildstjälk print, created using screen printing, pushed the boundaries of Marimekko’s flatbed printing machines, ensuring every color and detail was captured to perfection.

A flourishing vision

Petra’s expressive, dynamic floral motifs bring a fresh lens to Marimekko’s 2025 theme. The collections explore the anatomy of flowers, following their journey from spring’s first buds to autumn’s fading blooms. Petra’s signature style — joyful, free-flowing growth and her distinctive use of color — provided the perfect inspiration for this collaboration.

Many of the pieces in this collection were born in Petra’s ever-present sketchbook, which she carries everywhere. She sketches wherever inspiration strikes—whether it’s on the London Underground or in the studio. For this collection, Marimekko worked with both new artworks and reimagined earlier sketches.

Once the artworks were selected, Marimekko’s design teams got to work, reinterpreting Petra’s creations for timeless pieces…

We will see more of Borner’s work within short in the fashion part of the Spring collection.
