Description: This Piccolo pattern placemat is made of organic cotton canvas, which is printed in Helsinki. The edges of the placemat are finished and sewn onto the back side.

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. 

The main material of this product is 77,5% recycled. It is repurposed from Marimekko’s textile manufacturing waste, and the FSC certified wood veneer is a by-product of the furniture industry.
