Product Details
The small rectangular plate Oiva is made of white stoneware and features the Pikkuinen Unikko pattern. The plate is dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer safe. This product celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Unikko design and features the anniversary stamp on the bottom. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international design icon. Marimekko's founder, Armi Ratia, believed that the true essence of real flowers could not be faithfully captured in print, which is why floral prints had previously been excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendering. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, perfectly integrated into Marimekko's design identity.
