Louhi Heavyweight Cotton Fabric
Stunning, right? This jaw-droppingly beautiful pattern was designed by Aino-Maija Metsola. Aino-Maija graduated from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 2008 and is currently an independent visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. This is how she describes this design: “The intriguing design, painted with watercolors, captures frosted plants and the last small flowers already caught by the cold.”
I think this pattern would look beautiful with Kokadera, which was also designed by Aino-Maija Metsola or Räsymatto, which has a classic Marimekko look. Shop for Louhi here.
Kuusikossa Cotton Panama Fabric
This beautiful Christmas tree pattern is printed in Helsinki on cotton panama fabric. I love all the details that were added to the trees and the variety of shapes and sizes used within the pattern layout. Here is how they describe this fabulous fabric: “The Kuusikosssa (in a spruce forest) pattern takes you to a magical forest where every tree is unique and special.” I think it would pair beautifully with Kivet, which is featured next.
Kivet Cotton Linen Fabric
Marimekko’s Kivet fabric is one of their classic designs and I love the idea of pairing this colorway with one of their holiday fabrics. Here’s what they say about this fabric: “Maija Isola created the Kivet fabric in 1956 by cutting out rounds of coloured paper with scissors. The print´s shapes likely originate from the large, rough-edged stones cleared from the site of the artist´s studio home.” Intriguing, right?
Hyhmä Heavyweight Cotton Fabric
Hyhmä, which means frost, is one of the new designs that Marimekko introduced this season. It was designed by Aino-Maija Metsola and is part of a winter floral series that she created. This fabric is described as: “The delicate watercolor design portrays frozen flowers and plants adrift in wintery winds.” I love this design because it is a sophisticated take on a more traditional holiday floral pattern. It is also available on a beautiful blue background.
Käpykukka Cotton-Linen Fabric
And last but not least, I love this beautiful floral pattern with was designed by Carina Seth Andersson. Carina Seth Andersson is a Swedish designer known for her glass and ceramic work. She began designing vases for Marimekko in 2016, and then went on to design a series of textiles for the brand.
Here is what they have to say about this pattern: “The bold Käpykukka (pinecone flower) print combines nature inspired simplicity with carefully thought-out details – both signature features of Carina Seth Andersson’s pattern design.” I love the richness of the colors and the depth of each flower. The simple layout highlights the craftsmanship of the flower and celebrates the season.
