Marimekko's Iso Unikko bath towel is decorated with the large poppy flowers designed by Maija Isola. Made from 100% organic cotton, the Unikko bath towel offers twice the texture: one side is soft velour, while the other is classic terry. Complete the look with towels from the Unikko range or other Marimekko patterns. The Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be designed at Marimekko. Maija Isola did not accept rules or restrictions and designed, in protest, a complete collection of bold floral patterns: Unikko, a Finnish word that means poppy. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known patterns and is recognized worldwide.
