The company has its own textile factory where they print cotton and linen
fabrics. This essentially forms the basis of Marimekko's interior collection. This collection is
made of a number of products such as kitchen accessories, bathrobes, towels and bed linen, which
is the subject of this article.
As already highlighted above, Marimmeko bed linen contains patterns and colors
for all taste - from crisp geometric patterns, ornamental prints to new designs and classics.
You can find some of the available patterns in quilted bedspreads and in most instances
customers can actually order custom made bedspreads with an option to choose their own Marimekko
fabric.
The best thing about marimekko bed linen is its durability and high quality. It
is developed from high quality materials that last for years. This means as a buyer, you can
make a once off investment and enjoy the "dividends" for a long time if not for life.
For example, you can check out some classic merimekko bed linen like the
Metsänväki, which comes with a duvet cover and pillow case - made from 100% cotton, the Mauste
and the Heila also has a duvet cover and pillow case. Real classis include, Maija Isola's Unikko
and Fujiwo Ishimoto's striped patterns and Korsi.
This company made plans to introduce an organic cotton bed linen. This is
because the organiza cotton is grown without using any environmentally harmful fertilizers or
pesticides. According to their official website, "Responsibility for the environment and nature
is an integral aspect of Marimekko's business".
