Finnair will get a new Marimekko classic Unikko (Poppy) livery on its Airbus A330 aircraft. This aircraft will fly long haul routes from end of this year.

The design collaboration between Marimekko and Finnair began in 2012. In 2013, textiles and tableware with Marimekko designs were introduced onboard Finnair aircraft. The collection was designed according to the airline’s needs by Marimekko designer Sami Ruotsalainen, in original Marimekko patterns by Maija Isola.

The blue, green and grey colours and the classic prints used in the collection tell the story of Finnish nature and recall the perspective of looking out from an aircraft window, flying high above the landscape.

Unikko (poppy) is one of Marimekko’s classic patterns. The design was born in 1964 as a protest against Marimekko´s founder Armi Ratia, who had announced that Marimekko would not print any floral patterns, because flowers were more beautiful in nature than on fabric.

Designer Maija Isola refused to obey Armi and created an entire series of floral prints of which one of them was Unikko. Unikko became a favourite and has stayed in production for fifty years.
