AlbakiReads Editorial Seven decades of Marimekko pattern and process
Seven decades of Marimekko pattern and process
Published for Marimekko’s seventieth anniversary, this illustrated survey traces the Finnish design house through its signature textiles, creative partnerships, and printmaking methods. More than one hundred patterns, including previously unpublished archival imagery, form a visual record of the brand’s changing design language. The book is organized in four parts: Marimekko’s philosophy and lifestyle, its Herttoniemi printing factory, a pattern sourcebook, and its approach to a more sustainable future. Case studies follow the development of individual designs from initial sketches through screenprinted fabric, giving the volume a practical dimension alongside its brand history.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of Marimekko and Finnish design history
- Designers and students interested in textile printing processes
- Collectors of pattern, fashion, and decorative-arts books

Published on the 70th anniversary of the Marimekko brand, this book surveys the classic design collaborations, patterns, and vibrant textiles from the much-loved Finnish lifestyle design house
Marimekko held its first fashion show in 1951, where the clean lines and bright patterns made waves on the Scandinavian fashion scene. By 1960, Jacqueline Kennedy was wearing Marimekko, and the brand established itself as a global presence, frequently being featured in Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar. Over the past seventy years, Marimekko has created some of the most distinctive patterns in the design industry. Drawing on the wealth of Marimekko's archives, this volume showcases over one hundred iconic patterns and includes never-before-seen imagery.
Four distinct sections guide the reader from the Marimekko philosophy and lifestyle; to its printing factory in Herttoniemi, Finland; on to a rich sourcebook of pattern; and finally to the brand's ultra-sustainable, super-creative future. In-depth case studies are included throughout, showing how Marimekko collaborates with designers to bring their patterns from sketchbook to final print, and the means by which they are manufactured, from sketchbook to screenprinted fabric. This fully illustrated brand history and design resource is essential reading for any lover of print and pattern.
