Marimekko is a Finnish home furnishings, textiles, and fashion company based in Helsinki. Founded in 1951, it made important contributions to the world of fashion in the 1960's. It is particularly noted for its brightly colored Modernist style printed fabrics used both in garments and home furnishings. Two designers in particular, Vuokko Nurmesniemi with bold stripes, and Maija Isola with large flower prints, created hundreds of distinctive patterns and helped make the Marimekko brand products coveted by design aficionados, and a household name across the world.

The 2 original vintage Marimekko throw pillows each measure 14" W X 14" H X 3 1/2" D ( there is slight variation in the size of each pillow ). They feature a zipper placket detail with a feather filled pillow insert inside the pillow cover.

They are in excellent vintage condition consistent with age, and light signs of handling. There are slight subtle variations inherent to the fabric. They have been very well cared for by a single owner. Please see photos for condition reference. They are now being offered here for an excellent price. less
