Marimekko’s Unikko hand towel features the iconic floral pattern by Maija Isola in shades of dark blue and off-white, finished with golden accents. Made from soft and absorbent organic cotton terry, the Unikko hand towel adds a bit of elegance to the bathroom décor and everyday routines. Complete the look with other Unikko towels. The instantly recognizable Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be made at Marimekko. However, textile designer Maija Isola was not one for rules or restrictions – in protest, she designed a complete collection of bold floral patterns. One of them was named Unikko, Finnish for "poppy", and it quickly became a favourite of Ratia, as well. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known patterns, and it adorns a variety of objects from fabrics and bed linen to Sami Ruotsalainen’s clean-lined Oiva tableware collection.
