Marimekko

The Finnish design icon, Marimekko, has released its Spring 08 fabric collection. I love kaakaopuu (Coacoa tree).



Looking through their continuuing collection, I also noticed this bold graphical print by one of my favourite finnish designers, Harri Koskinen. Koskinen is a very talented designer and has created a myriad of objects ranging from chairs to candle-holders to his famous block lamp which is represented in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I carted one of the block lamps back from Helsinki a couple of years ago. Might try and get hold of this fabric the next time I am back in Finland (end of year).
