Known as a symbol of joy and creativity, the poppy gets a wonderful manifestation in the hands of the skilled goldsmiths of Kalevala Jewelry.
The Unikko-shaped jewelry pieces seen in the collaboration collection will be crafted by hand from 100% recycled silver at Kalevala Jewelry factory in Helsinki, Finland. The collection will be available at Marimekko and Kalevala Jewelry stores, online stores and retailers in selected markets in fall 2024. The products of the limited-edition collection will be revealed at a later stage.
“Marimekko and Kalevala Jewelry share an ethos of timeless design, and we are truly excited to launch together a jewelry collection celebrating the iconic Unikko pattern. Known as a symbol for joy and creativity, the Unikko pattern receives a stunning expression in the hands of skillful jewelers at Kalevala Koru. By bringing together two beloved Finnish design companies, we can create something truly special, even surprising to our customers”, tells Emmakaisa Kirves, Design Director for Ready-to-Wear, Bags and Accessories at Marimekko.
“Kalevala Jewelry and Marimekko both act as bold trailblazers in their respective fields. While Marimekko constantly pushes the boundaries of print design, Kalevala, on the other hand, breaks conventions in jewelry design with its sculptural pieces and designs that express powerful narratives. Through our new collaboration collection, we look towards the future and celebrate design and craftsmanship,” says Aino Ahlnäs, Creative Director at Kalevala Jewelry.
