Unikko & Tiiliskivi 101 pencil set

The Unikko and Tiiliskivi pattern pencil sets contain ten pencils each, with five different color variations in each box. Each sales unit contains two Tiiliskivi pencil sets and four Unikko pencil sets. The carton pencil boxes are made of recycled paper.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.?

The Tiiliskivi (brick) print was designed by Marimekko’s founder Armi Ratia. The pattern reflects her belief in the simple beauty of everyday life.
