Marimekko is a Finnish design house founded in 1951. For over seventy years, the unmistakable Marimekko prints have always been worn as bold badges of positivity and personal empowerment.

 

 

It all started with a dress

 

When founding Marimekko in the early nineteen-fifties with her husband Viljo Ratia, Armi Ratia created one of the world’s first lifestyle brands. She had a remarkable ability to capture the spirit of her time, presenting the world with her much-welcomed vision for optimism and personal joy.

 

The journey began with a simple dress in captivating prints. A bold and carefree celebration of individuality, the Marimekko dress became an instant classic. The abstract patterns, architectonic shapes, and vibrant colors proved a perfect recipe for free-spirited women of all ages and sizes. Marimekko dress has remained an empowering symbol for independent women everywhere, always current yet true to its original concept.

The art of printmaking

 

Marimekko’s design philosophy is founded on the art of printmaking. Marimekko prints and patterns are treated as works of art. They are developed in dialogue with the artist, protecting the intent and the integrity of the artist’s practice and the artwork itself. Marimekko products bring the art of printmaking to life. They are pieces of wearable and usable art.

 

Marimekko products are canvases- they are dresses to run or dance in, outerwear to be layered, denim to be washed and worn, but also multifunctional trays, stackable bowls, textiles for decoration, for creating architectural spaces. Marimekko has always walked a path in the intersection of art, design, fashion and architecture. This is where inspiration is found, the print and patterns imagined, and the products brought to life.

 

 

Printed in Helsinki

 

Our Helsinki printing factory is a bustling, free-spirited playground of creativity and the heart and soul of Marimekko—even our headquarters were built around it. Over the years, Marimekko designers have created some 3,500 print designs, which have graced everything from dresses and bags to ceramics, fabrics, and more.

 

Proving their timeless appeal, the iconic prints have been reborn time and again in thousands of imaginative color palettes. New pieces of printed artwork are introduced to an ever-evolving collection each year. From the very beginning, blown-up multi-layered prints in vibrant colors have been the hallmarks of our designs.

Joyful living through democratizing art

 

Marimekko’s design vision is rooted in expressing an optimistic lifestyle – a genuine desire to color and joy into lives and homes everywhere and encourage people to be happy as they are. Walking on the boundaries between art, design and fashion, Marimekko is grounded on creativity, optimism and doing things together. The beauty and wonder in everyday life. The ability of seeing things in new ways.

 

Turning ready-to-wear, bags and accessories and home décor into vibrant yet timeless and long-lasting expressions of joyful living spurred one of the world’s first genuine lifestyle brands.

 

 

 

Coloring outside the lines

 

From encouraging empowerment to celebrating anti-elitist design, inclusivity and equality have always been at the heart of Marimekko. Be true to yourself and express your creativity! This was Armi Ratia’s dream for her customers, and it continues to be our message today. It also resonates throughout our organization as we remain committed to allowing every individual to shine, regardless of gender, age, or self-identification.
