Marimekko










I found these awesome Marimekko dishes today at Goodwill!!! It was a major score because,I got the whole set for $4. I am a big fan of marimekko, so when I saw that there were two full sets, I grabbed them seeing as they run $55 per plate....I'm not joking...


Marimekko is a Finnish textile design company that became popular in the 60s after Jackie O, bought eight dresses and wore them consecutively throughout the year 1960. Their most popular design is called Unikko (the floral print on the plates). I love it when awesome textiles are integrated into domestic goods...
