Marimekko is a Finnish textile company that designs, manufactures and sells clothes, interior design textiles, bags and other accessories. While browsing through fabrics for O's custom Bugaboo cover, I came across some of the most beautiful designs by Marimekko. Most of the hand screened prints are quite large in scale (55" wide with 93" vertical repeat, for example), and are therefore not suitable to use for the Bugaboo cover. However, they would be great to use on interior design projects.

Another Scandinavian textile company worth mentioning is the Danish company, Kvadrat. Alongside its American partner Maharam, Kvadrat is a favored textile source for architects and interior designers alike.

O's Puo made her a couple of tailored terry cloth covers for the Bugaboo. They fit so well and are in some ways better than the Koeka cover. Puo took the original fleece cover and made a paper pattern which can be used over and over. Can't wait for her custom Marimekko Bugaboo cover!
