Sinivalkoinen

Those blue and white moments.
 

Welcome friends, lunch is served!
Tablecloth by the Finnish company marimekko,
the blue and white coloring matches pretty well with
the Majorcan blue and white theme ikat.


Pillows match together. Even though the unikko pattern is
already faded in the sun and the fake ikat pillowcases
never had the bright blue colours. But for our summerhouse
terrace this combo is just perfect. 

The “Cloth of Tongues” is based in the technique of the ikat. 
These fabrics are originally from the ancient East, from where 
they came to Mallorca along the Silk route. The old Majorcan 
ikat is a very versatile and strong fabric that presents the very 
same pattern on both sides.

This textile shop close to Pollença is really worth visiting.

Unikko (poppy), symbolizing creativity, was born in a time when hardly 
any floral designs were included in Marimekko’s collections.

This year marimekko celebrates its 70th anniversary.



Breaking news: co-operation with Adidas starting soon.
Well, just wondering what kind of sports are you
supposed to practice wearing that huge , b&w dress?
Good luck to both companies, maybe this sells.







Artsy ideas combining unikko and kastehelmi.
With Layout App.

Kastehelmi (“dewdrop” in Finnish) draws inspiration from dewdrops 
glistening like a string of pearls under the morning sun and refers to the 
circles of delicate bubbles in the pressed glass that give each piece in 
the collection its distinct character. Originally designed by Oiva Toikka 
in 1964, the Kastehelmi series was relaunched in 2010. Toikka came up 
with the idea to use droplets of glass as decoration when trying to find a way 
to hide joint marks left in the production process. The result was a unique 
design that features rings of tiny glass bubbles that extend outwards 
from the center of each piece.
