Designed by Maija Louekari for the 2023 IKEA x Marimekko collaboration collection, the Raparperi (rhubarb) pattern was inspired by large, interesting rhubarb leaves that one can often see growing next to sauna buildings in the Finnish countryside. Flourishing in sunny spots, rhubarb leaves in their vastness and lush green color are a sight to remember. Also, the flavor of rhubarb is fascinating and very Nordic, and its pink stem is a juicy, crisp treat in the garden.
