marimekko

“I’m constantly inspired by the Finnish design house, especially their fun use of pattern and colour. Their designs have a narrative. I’m particularly inspired by children’s book illustrations and I’ve illustrated a few kids’ books myself, so I’m really drawn to design and art that are figurative and tell stories. I like that about Marimekko.” Visit: 66 King St, Sydney, NSW, (02) 9299 0372; and four stores across Australia. Also available through Bolt Of Cloth in New Zealand.
