we were having a good old dig around the cobweb-ridden garage attic, and amidst all the forgotton scuba gear and camping equipment [ahem, long forgotten], we came across some marimekko fabrics form the 1960s.
most of their designs are on fabric rolls, but many were created to be individual artworks in their own right [which were often big enough to cover a large wall]. unfortunately, almost half a century has had its toll and there are various marks on them, but they are really stunning nonetheless, and now hanging in my bedroom. below are some examples of their work. for more information, see their website and the wikipedia article.
