Marimekko Melooni placemat
Description
Marimekko’s Melooni placemat charms with a lively, woven pattern, which is formed by jute threads in different hues. Jute is a durable and eco-friendly material that regenerates quickly, and its cultivation requires less water, fertilizers, and pesticides than many other fibres. Marimekko's Melooni, Finnish for "melon", is one of Maija Isola's classic pattern designs from the 1960s. Exuding the swinging spirit of the era, the pattern consists of three oval forms in three different hues. Isola drew inspiration for the pattern from nature, as she often did in her design work, but decided to deconstruct the motif so that what was left was only an abstract, stylized design.
