The partnership will offer a portfolio of art created by the following artists: 

  • Maija Isola, designer behind the Unikko flower pattern and over 500 others for Marimekko 

  • Fujiwo Ishimoto, award-winning Japanese designer who has worked with the brand since the 1970s 

  • Katsuji Wakisaka, Japanese textile designer known for his organic shapes and bold colors 

  • Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, Finnish textile designer celebrated for her functional designs
