Do you know Marimekko's unikko print? I noticed it today when I visited their site. It turns fifty this year. The creation all started when the textile designer decided not to follow the orders of her boss.
I remember it from the time I was little. My parents had a super cool arty friend named Julie and she had unikko in her house.

I loved going to Julie's. So many fascinating art and garden treasures. Sadly, She had sudden and severe mental health issues. Her naturopath husband thought it was triggered by mercury poisoning from dental fillings. Today, I remember the lovely, quirky, creative Julie. This Miina Äkkijyrkkä print reminds me of her.
Just looking at Marimekko's PVC coated fabrics. How fantastic they would look outdoors and no worries about them getting wet.
