Sumu Unikko

The Sumu overshirt is made of firm organic cotton with an oversized, straight fit. The overshirt is printed in the Unikko pattern and it has a pointed collar, a snap button closure, and large patch pockets in the front. The sleeves are finished with a turned stitched hem.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
