<br/><br/> Founded in 1951 by visionary textile designer Armi Ratia and her husband, Viljo, the Marimekko Corporation in Finland not only sparked a revolution in pattern making but also pioneered a new definition of fashion that embraced the entire home environment. This book -- the first comprehensive study of Marimekko designs -- presents the exuberant Marimekko fashions and home furnishings that gave the company a definitive presence on the world design stage--Page 4 of cover.
