Colour for a reason – the stories behind the prints

The Marimekko spring collection delves into a theme close to our hearts: colour.

We want to encourage and inspire people to use colour more boldly, both everyday and on special days. Whether you’re going out for an evening party or enjoying a relaxed breakfast on a Sunday morning, colour is always there for a reason. We believe that colour can be a building block to a positive life.

At Marimekko we’ve always been fascinated with colour – its conscious use in design, its presence in nature, its profound mystery. Colour comes to us naturally, because we’ve been working with it for over sixty years. Yet at the beginning of every season we rediscover the power of colour to bring joy.

Take a peek into the rich world of Marimekko patterns and learn about the inspirations behind the designs.
