READ MARISSA MAYER´S STORY OF COURAGE AND SHARE YOUR OWN! This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Unikko (poppy). For us the birth story of our most iconic print symbolizes courage and the power of creativity. In honour of Unikko’s 50th birthday, we’re paying tribute to bold personalities. Read Marissa Mayer’s story of courage and share your own! Maija Isola’s classic pattern was born in 1964 after Armi Ratia, Marimekko’s founder, had announced that Marimekko would never print a flower pattern. Maija refused to obey Armi’s orders and - in protest - created an entire series of gorgeous floral prints. One of them was Unikko. Unikko embodied the spirit of the ‘60s flower power revolution, and had plenty of provocative self-expression. No wonder Armi Ratia was immediately convinced that the print had a place at Marimekko.
