About Marimekko Marimekko Corporation began in Finland in 1951. Its founders, Armi and Viljo Ratia, built the company on a strong desire to offer unique, long-lasting and beautiful products to post-war Finland. More than a brand name, Marimekko represents the desire for a modern lifestyle that is in harmony with the natural environment. The brand began with a series of bright and bold textile designs that eventually grew into a small universe of products. Now the company features three extensive product lines: clothing, accessories and interior design items. Marimekko has a strong following all over the world with customers who feel a special connection with the brand’s products and lifestyle philosophy.
