The Ohikulkeva shirt is made of viscose crepe in the Kivet pattern. The shirt has a collar and a V-shaped slit in the front neckline and a back yoke seam with pleats. The sleeve ends have slits and wide single-button cuffs. The hem has a rounded cut.

The Kivet (stones) design builds on circles cut with scissors. The pattern was most likely inspired by the big rough-edged stones that were manually cleared from the designer’s atelier home’s grounds.

The Haavikko button-up shirt is made of cotton poplin and it features a placement print of the Kaksoset pattern. The shirt has a concealed button closure in the front and wide single-button cuffs at the sleeve ends. The hemline has a rounded cut and side slits with triangular side panels.

Throughout her career, Maija Isola was both a print designer and a painter, and she often used the same motif in a painting as well as a fabric pattern. A good example is the pair of cats in the Kaksoset (twins) pattern, which appears in an almost identical form in a gouache painted by Isola.

Material: cotton poplin

Marimekko’s famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house’s collections featured mostly abstract prints.

The Ollako tunic is made of silk in the Pikku Lokki pattern. The tunic has a short standing collar, a short, front list without buttons, and wide cuffs at the sleeve end. The hemline has a rounded cut. Printed fabrics are random cut in order to avoid as much unnecessary waste as possible, making each product a unique piece.

The idea for the Lokki (seagull) pattern came to Maija Isola when she was looking at a window with a curtain drawn across it. The sun was shining, and the wide folds of the curtain formed wavy shadows on the fabric. Maija had a sudden inspiration: if a fabric is printed with waves, even a small piece of such fabric appears abundant, richly folded.
