Marimekko Artist Series: Sabine Finkenauer

 

We'll unveil our spring/summer '24 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week, and everyone is invited! Organized in the courtyard of Designmuseum Danmark, the CPHFW fashion show will be open to the public, reflecting Marimekko's inclusive approach to design. Marimekko has, for more than 30 years, had a tradition of arranging an annual, public fashion show in the heart of our home city, Heisinki. 

 
 

 

The series was introduced to push the art of printmaking into uncharted waters and give creatives a new canvas echo Marimekko's design philosophy, bold aesthetic, and optimism while offering a fresh lens for viewing art.

 

Each artist collaboration requires custom techniques and special printing methods to achieve an authentic result that is respectful to the artist's unique imprint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sign up to be the first to know when the 16-piece Sabine Finkenauer capsule drops in August.

Expression of art in everyday objects

 

This edit of the Marimekko Artist Series introduces seven exclusion Sabine Finkenauer artworks on a range of ceramics and home textile products. The new capsule will be available in August 2023.

 

Sabine Finkenauer, a German artist based in Barcelona, is celebrated for her geometrically accurate and rhythmic artworks that use simple everyday subjects and shapes to create a meticulous interplay of representative and abstract expression. Sabine's equally exquisite and approachable art pieces are created by hand using vividly colored oil pastels and a variety of techniques.

 

 

 

 

The greatest beauty lies in simplicity

 

An artist originally specialized in sculpture, Sabine Finkenauer's works are regularly showcased at galleries and institutions in Europe, the United States, and South America. Her artistic method can be defined as a game whose rules the artist establishes by playing and, above all, an aspiration for simplicity, in which she believes the greatest beauty resides. Over the years, all this has crystallized into a vocabulary of simple and bold shapes inspired by ornament and geometry.

 

 

 

 

 

From fiber to yarn

 

 Yarn manufacturer Inovafil combines recycled fiber with cotton fiber to create a more durable material. The fiber material is then spun into yarn and delivered to the knitting factory. Recycled fiber accounts for 25% of the material in Marimekko's first closed-loop products, with virgin cotton fiber accounting for the remaining 75%. Our goal is to increase the proportion of recycled fiber in our products while maintaining product durability.

From yarn to fabric

 

Fabric manufacturer Trimalhas knits the yarn into a jersey fabric, which is then sent for finishing. The fabric is finished and washed at the Acatel factory. Following that, the fabric is returned to the Pedrosa factory to be cut into pieces in accordance with the sewing patterns.

From fabric to printed garment
