    Frequently Asked Questions

    What fabrics are Marimekko pillows made from?

    Marimekko pillows are sofa and bed cushion covers cut from the house's printed cotton and linen, a single bold pattern slipped over a separate feather or synthetic insert. Our Marimekko pillows at Eleish Van Breems Home arrive in rotating prints, drawn from the Marimekko collection.

    Which Marimekko pillows prints anchor a neutral sofa?

    The Marimekko pillows that anchor a neutral sofa are the larger single-print covers, one or two doing the work against plain upholstery, taken from the same designs as Marimekko fabric. Pick a print that picks up a colour already sitting somewhere else in the room.

    How many Marimekko pillows can one room take?

    A neutral room takes one or two Marimekko pillows before the pattern turns busy, so pair a bold cover with plain cushions in a shared tone, as with other throw pillows. Three across a sofa, in one shared tone, keeps the print from taking over.

    Do Marimekko pillows covers come off for washing?

    Most Marimekko pillows covers unzip along one edge, so slip the cover off and wash it alone to its label while the insert stays dry, laying it flat to keep the print sharp; coordinate them with tablecloths, placemats & runners. Press it on the reverse if the pattern needs it.
