Marimekko Eggcup Blue Ceramic. Dimensions: Ø 4.7 x H 3.7 cm. This set
comprising of two egg cups made from sandstone decorated with to iconic patterns
from the Marimekko brand: the Alku designed by young Finnish illustrator Maija
Louekari and the Unikko pattern created by Maija Isola. The bean-shaped forms in
the Alku pattern represent seeds which blossom into magnificent and vibrant
flowers. They symbolise a new beginning, such as springtime, which is what the
name Alku refers to – in Finnish, it means beginning. The famous Unikko poppy
pattern from Marimekko was created in 1964, at a time when the design
house's collections were particularly focused on abstract prints. Designer
Maija Isola wanted to turn this organic theme into something eye-catching, and
created a whole series of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents
creativity. Cheerful, chic and graphic, the tableware collection by Marimekko
brings your interior to life! The simple shapes showcase the
collection’s stunning designs. You can compose a coordinated service
yourself, or mismatch cups, plates and bowls to create your own style! Made to
last, Marimekko cups, mugs and plates are made of ceramic stoneware and their
patterns have been designed not to fade over time. Compatible with the demands
of modern life, all the items in the collection are suitable for microwave,
dishwasher and freezer. Created in 1951, Marimekko is a state of mind, a way of
life based on creativity, freedom of spirit and inventiveness. Its notoriety
dates back to 1960, the year in which Jackie Kennedy made several public
appearances in dresses designed by Marimekko. The brand went on to enjoy
enormous success, which continues today with a range of clothing and decorative
accessories in vibrant colours, for a house full of inspiration !
