Marimekko design takes the world by storm

The design will have a chance to enchant the audience at the end of April at the renowned Milano Furniture Fair. Marimekko will also take part in "Fabrics, Fashion and Architecture" - exhibition in Sweden. Earlier in the year Marimekko exhibited its unique products at a textile exhibition on Rome.
