“I was dancing with brushes,” said Maija Isola. In 1961, she spent many evenings and nights working in Marimekko’s print factory – painting in gentle, sweeping brushstrokes to the sway of music. Meter upon meter of new patterns emerged. On one of those nights, Silkkikuikka (great crested grebe), a pattern of alluring rhythm and simplicity, saw daylight.

The Musta Tamma (black mare) pattern reflects Maija Isola’s recollections of her childhood when she often imagined that she was running free in the woods together with a big herd of horses.
