Marimekko Plum / Green small small cup
This cotton fabric presents the Rusakko motif, printed in Helsinki.
A large brown hare cries into a shrub, surrounded by the beautiful palette of nature. Vigilant and policeman, he is ready to jump. A modern version of a folkloric theme, the Rusakko press (brown hare) continues the stories of the Aino-Maija Metsola forest. The original model was drawn on paper with a marker and a bottleneck, then colorful using a computer. The fabric is selling per linear meter so the sale price is per meter and is 140 wide for the height of 1 meter
It started with a dress. In the 1950s, Marimekko’s trail-blazing founder Armi Ratia created the brand’s very first pieces; a vividly printed range of liberating dresses that reflected her confident spirit. Contrary to the traditional attire of the time, Ratia’s designs embraced looser silhouettes, bold, colourful prints and a free-spirited sensibility made to empower women. This legacy still lives on today, and Marimekko’s eye-catching range of printed pieces now extends to accessories, homewares, ceramics and more. Each piece is expertly printed in the brand’s Helsinki printing factory and the Finnish company’s vibrant motifs are instantly recognisable – give a special friend or loved one a stylish surprise with a playful printed tote bag, chic mug or colourful set of notecards.
