Unikko striped plate Ø20 cm from Finnish Marimekko is adorned with the beautiful Unikko pattern. The plate is designed by Sami Ruotsalainen and the decoration by Maija & Kristina Isola. The Unikko pattern was created in 1964 after Marimekko's founder Armi Ratia had proclaimed a ban on floral patterns. However, Maija Isola managed to persuade her with her lovely poppies and Unikko went into production. Since then, it has become something of Marimekko's signature pattern.
