Piccolo

The Piccolo pattern cushion cover is made of organic cotton canvas, and it is printed in Helsinki. The cover has a zipper on one side and a narrow, flanged edge.

In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
