    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Marimekko make?

    Marimekko is a design house built on bold, oversized pattern used with confident colour, applied across everything from tableware and cushions to bags and clothing; the yardage sits under printed textiles. We carry Marimekko across the home at Eleish Van Breems Home, and lean on one bold print at a time in a room.

    How do I start a Marimekko collection?

    To start a Marimekko collection, pick one area you use daily, a few mugs and a bowl, or a length of fabric, and build from there rather than buying across every category at once; a bowl is an easy first piece. Choose a core print you can add to later.

    How much Marimekko print works in one room?

    With a print this loud, one Marimekko piece is plenty: let it own a single surface — a blind, a cushion group or a cloth — and hold the rest of the room quiet, filled out with tablecloths, placemats & runners. Two big prints in a room tend to clash.

    What care keeps Marimekko cotton and stoneware in good order?

    To care for Marimekko cotton and stoneware, wash printed textiles cool and dry them out of harsh sun, and treat glazed stoneware as dishwasher-safe unless the base says otherwise; the bags sit under scarves and wraps. Wash new textiles separately at first to help preserve the colour.
