Marimekko Kurre design

The Kurre (squirrel) design builds on Aino-Maija Metsola’s forest stories and features a lively group of squirrels collecting and hiding nuts. When the designer was young, squirrels were a familiar sight in his garden. The original artwork was created with brush and ink on paper.

Mix & match

The power of Marimekko lies in, among other things, the ability to mix the various designs. Because the basic shapes of the service are always the same, it ensures peace and unity and you can go ahead in terms of designs. You do not have to purchase the service in one go. On the contrary, it is nice to always buy a few items and gradually expand your collection. Some people choose to have everything in 1 design, some mix it loose.

Marimekko designer Sami Ruotsalainen loves cooking. When he designed the new Oiva service, he was looking for the ideal plate for different dishes, the perfect cup for tea and the best cup for coffee. But he wanted to limit the number of different service items and that's why he designed the service items in such a way that they can be used in different ways and yet are also characteristic of their function.

To determine the right size, he studied the standard sizes, but he also looked at classic dishes from his grandmother's time. With all these findings he formed and determined the shape of the new Oiva service, which is unique and characteristic of Marimekko. Oiva white (off-white) is the basis and the collections differ in prints on the service. With the collections, the pattern / design is placed around the Oiva basic set.
