Modern textiles


Have you heard of the Marimekko brand? Marimekko is a Finnish textile and clothing design company whose collection of fabrics leaves me speechless. The prints and colors run the gamut from soft and subtle to bold and exuberant. If I could wallpaper my entire studio with a different Marimekko fabric each week, I would.

Coincidentally, as I settled in to write today's post, I popped over to The Honolulu Advertiser's Daily Dish blog (as I do every morning), and spotted a Marimekko print in one of Catherine Toth's photos (see beautiful wall hanging in second pic). No doubt, you'll come across more of these cool modern textiles if you keep an eye out for them!
