Unikko takes shape as modern silver jewelry – Marimekko and Kalevala launch a limited-edition collaboration collection
Marimekko and Kalevala’s limited-edition collaboration collection will be available from October onwards. The collection includes a wide assortment of jewelry from a brooch to a minimalistic ear cuff. The pieces, made of recycled silver, were inspired by Marimekko’s most famous pattern Unikko, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
Finnish lifestyle design house Marimekko and Finnish jewelry company Kalevala Koru make quality design a part of everyday life through their products. The latest example of this being the limited-edition collaboration collection between the two brands where Marimekko’s art of printmaking has been applied to timeless Kalevala jewelry. During the 60th anniversary year of Marimekko’s Unikko pattern, the brand has explored different approaches to this timeless design icon. In Kalevala’s Helsinki factory, the Unikko pattern comes to life in a brand-new way through Finnish craftmanship in jewelry.
