Art Direction & Design for Marimekko's 70th Anniversary Book: The Art of Printmaking. Blending archival photographs and advertisements with modern campaign imagery as well as newly commissioned photography, Marimekko: The Art of Printmaking tells the story of Marimekko’s most iconic designs. Four distinct sections guide the reader through the Marimekko philosophy and lifestyle, via its factory in Herttoniemi, where fabrics have been created from the very beginning, on to a rich sourcebook of patterns and finally to the brand’s ultra-sustainable, super-creative future.
