Pieni Unikko 384 pot holder and oven mitten - Marimekko

The Pieni Unikko pattern kitchen textile set includes one oven mitten and one potholder. Both products are made of unbleached cotton, which is printed in Helsinki, and they have padded fillings and hanging loops.

Unbleached cotton fabric has a natural lively color and surface, where small dark dots originated from the cotton plant may appear. There may be differences between products regarding this feature.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
