If you love fabric and color, you may already be familiar with a brand called Marimekko. This Finnish company is now partnering with Target stores to bring their lines of clothing, home décor and kitchenware to its shoppers.
The formal opening of the Marimekko collection launched Sunday, April 17. You can find the collection in both Target stores and online.

There is so much about this brand that I just love. The rich colors, simple design and messages that represent the philosophy that define Marimekko. The company began in 1951 with the mission of bringing joy to everyday life. The designs are timeless connecting lifestyle with function. You will find clothing, dinnerware, picnic and outdoor dining options, candles, entertaining pieces and games all for under $50.

Marimekko began as a textile printing company in 1949 (known as Printex) but evolved into a design focused company where young artists were inspired to create new printed fabrics.
The design and energy coming from these patterns would liven up any room in your home.

Some examples of Marimekko’s design philosophy:
Joy of everyday life
Our designers, each with a distinct, personal style, are spreading happiness through their designs. Young designers grow to become the Marimekko masters of tomorrow.
Patterns and colors
We have always built our design on strikingly inventive patterns and the clever use of colors. In fact, open-minded and unpretentious, we champion creativity. It is the art of printmaking.

Timelessness
“Marimekko is not about trendy fashion. We make timeless and lasting products, which are by chance, often very fashionable.”
– Armi Ratia

Genuineness
Marimekko is about living, not pretending; about understanding and accepting the beauty of life just as we encounter it every day.
Functionality
At the end of the day, we do create objects for people to enjoy in everyday life.

Freedom of creativity
We foster a carefree environment where our talented designers and craftsmen are guided, inspired and encouraged to truly express themselves. We simply ask for our products to have an authentic, living soul.
