Marimekko is a Finnish lifestyle design house celebrated for its original prints and colors.
In 2024, Marimekko celebrates the 60th anniversary of the design icon Unikko. Maija Isola’s Unikko is not only a much-loved pattern around the world but also a connection between Ateneum and Marimekko. Isola was studying at Suomen Taideakatemian koulu, Ateneum when Armi Ratia discovered her for Marimekko. Now, Maija Isola returns to Ateneum as her most famous work, Unikko, is projected onto the art museum’s façade to celebrate the Colour & Light – The Legacy of Impressionism exhibition. A masterpiece of Finnish neo-impressionism, Alfred William Finch’s pointillist painting Orchard at La Louvière meets the Unikko pattern in a light installation by Katri Tikkanen and Matti Ahopelto. Unikko at La Louvière, created using the pointillism technique, is a tribute to colors, the joy of life, and Finnish design and visual arts.
