The Unikko linen tablecloth from Marimekko protects your table from all sorts of spills and stains while also becoming an unquestionably elegant part of the table setting. The distinctive pattern was originally designed by Maija & Kristina Isola in 1964 after Marimekko's founder, Armi Ratia, announced an all-out ban on floral patterns. Despite this, Maija Isola managed to persuade her otherwise with this stylized depiction of majestic poppy flowers — thus, the Unikko pattern was born. Since that time, the elegant design has become something of a signature pattern for Marimekko, and a well-loved aesthetic by many all over the world.
