Herkomst Helsinki
The founder of Marimekko Armi Ratia once asked how you can be a personality if you have no personality. One stands little risk of correction when one says that Marimekko has always been a company that stirs a lot of emotion. The years have been filled with stories, incredible successes and experiments on which there could no doubt be many opinions. In 2011 Marimekko celebrated its 60's anniversary.
MARIMEKKO’S SPRING 2012 CLOTHING COLLECTION
From North to South. From the fells of Lapland to the archipelago of Southern Finland. From nature to urbanity. The many faces of Finnish summer living.
Finland is the land of polar opposites. The violet red of heather flowers in Lapland. The gentle green of balcony gardens in Helsinki. The blue glimmer of water of the archipelago. Marimekko’s spring 2012 clothing collection inspires you to head outdoors into the spring light. Playfully blending the subtle hues of primeval nature with the easygoing tones of urban life, the collection reveals - in contrasting style and colour – the designers’ enduring fascination with natural light. Now you can say goodbye to your stuffy winter coat and enjoy the simple pleasures of springtime. Like buying fresh vegetables in the local market or riding a bicycle in Helsinki. Together with Marimekko, naturally.
MARIMEKKO’S SUMMER 2012 CLOTHING COLLECTION
Gentle summer breeze welcomes us to a new morning. The city is waking up; the marketplace buzzes with life. The stalls are filled with fresh berries, and the sound of clogs carries over the warm concrete. On the way to the ice cream stand, we stop to admire the dandelions and make garlands.
In the warmth of the summer, we dress ourselves in comfy clothes, pack our backpacks, and head out to sea. For the afternoon, we escape to the beach and build the most magnificent sandcastle of the summer. We enjoy and celebrate the sun and the leisurely moments. With Marimekko - naturally.
MARIMEKKO’S SPRING 2012 INTERIOR DECORATION COLLECTION
The gentle trickle of colours in a forest stream. The sound of arrival and departure in a busy port. Marimekko’s spring 2012 interior decoration collection is inspired by natural colours, Helsinki’s stately architecture and poetic remembrance. It is poised between enduring memories and playful dreams, and explores a world rich in colour and storytelling. It remembers the fragrance of summer’s first flowers and celebrates the architectural grandeur of a past era. Bold. Curious. Colourful. It is Marimekko in essence and form.
