This book - the first comprehensive study of Marimekko designs - presents more than one hundred examples of exuberant Marimekko fashions and home furnishings that gave the company a definitive presence on the world design stage. This book is the catalogue for an exhibition that will open at the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design and Culture in November 2003. Marianne Aav is design historian and director of the Finnish Museum of Art and Design, Helsinki.
