Originally created in 1961, the Silkkikuikka (Finnish for silk loon) design is one of the oldest prints created by famed Marimekko designer, Maija Isola. Isola was a highly creative person who was inspired by the world around her, creating designs with a deeply organic feel. Rarely literal and mostly conceptual, Isola's design uses chevrons, waves, and curved lines to create a feeling of water, plumage and flight. Contrasting colors and impressive prints harmoniously come together to create this brilliant movement-based motif. Made from 100% cotton, the Silkkikuikka print towels are a beautiful choice to enhance the Zen in your bathroom.
