Marimekko Unikko Floral Rug, Green, 200 x 140 cm

The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of Unikko, one of the most recognized Marimekko print designs in the world. Unikko was created by Maija Isola for Marimekko in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. This rug is tufted by hand, meaning that material is injected into the back of the rug with a tufting gun, holding the material firmly in place.

About your new rug

As this rug is made using natural fibres, shedding is to be expected. This will reduce over time, and should not have an impact on the lifespan or performance of your rug. When you first get your rug, please use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner whilst the shedding dies down. After that, when vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres. Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents. Attend to spillages immediately and blot with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining. Dilute a small amount of appropriate carpet shampoo in water. Dampen a colourfast cloth in the diluted shampoo solution and dab the rug, lightly agitating, moving in the direction of the pile. Treat the whole rug and not just the affected area. To restore the appearance of the affected area, use a soft bristled brush to gently comb in the direction of the pile. Allow the rug to thoroughly dry.
