Fashion meets design with the Converse x Marimekko All Star Ox plimsolls.
Two classic Maija Isola-designed Marimekko cloths, Unikko above and Paprika over the page, are used for the uppers of this classic Converse shoe, with a contrast lining, two sets of laces, embroidered branding on the tongue plus a matching carry bag.
Available online, it sells for £60.
Following the People Will Always Need Plates Electric Avenue Tray mentioned earlier this week, here is another pop-art style tray, this time by Marimekko.
The Iltavilli Cow Tray is decorated with line drawings of cow set against a brightly coloured background. The design has been created by Miina Äkkijyrkkä, a Helsinki-based artist who is well-know for her cow drawings.
The tray costs £40 from Illustrated Living.
The second wallpaper collection from Finnish design house Marimekko is full of their trademark bold colour and retro style.
Designed by Maija Louekar, Kippis (meaning "cheers") features abstract black and white line drawings of glasses and goblets with colourful accents in red, blue, pink, green and yellow. It would make a striking feature wall in a kitchen or lounge and is durable too – apparently extra-washable so able to withstand hard-partying friends or small sticky-fingered people, depending on your situation.
Kippis is available from Wallpaper Direct and costs £72.95 per roll.
