This is the first time that Marimekko has designed a set of prints especially for a collaboration, making it truly unique. The collection features four special prints created by our established designers Maija Louekari and Sami Ruotsalainen. Raparperi (rhubarb), Höyrykukka (steam flower), and Pötkö (bar stripe) are designed by Maija, and Puuleikkaus (woodcarving) by Sami.
The collaboration prints and textures were inspired by exuberant rhubarbs that grow near sauna buildings, the soft, curved cuts of carved wood, and gentle water ripples on lakes illuminated by the midnight sun. The collection’s furniture, glassware, and vibrantly patterned textiles encapsulate the simple beauty of Nordic nature.
The IKEA x Marimekko collaboration invites you to live boldly, joyfully and well. The BASTUA limited-edition collection is available exclusively in IKEA retail channels starting in March. Please check its availability at your local IKEA retail store. This collaboration is not available in Marimekko’s channels.
