Kitchen textile set made from printed cotton in a striped design
The Piccolo oven glove & potholder set from Marimekko is made in Helsinki from printed cotton fabric. Each product is equipped with a padded filling to protect against heat and practical hanging loops for storage.
Remarkably, 50% of the cotton used to make these products is recycled, reflecting Marimekko s commitment to sustainability.
Piccolo by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi
In 1953, the same year that Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi joined Marimekko , she introduced Piccolo - a vibrant, striped fabric pattern with expressive brushstrokes. Just three years later, the shirt Jokapoika (every boy) made from this fabric became a staple in the stores and on the streets, cementing its enduring popularity.
