This smart mug has a simple linked dots pattern. Sami Ruotsalainen designed the clean, unfussy shape while Maija Louekari created the pattern for the Siirtolapuutarha collection so that each piece tells a different part of the story. Made with hard, glazed porcelain, it has a long lifespan and a pattern that won't fade or wear off. Marimekko is a design house celebrated worldwide for its original prints and colours.

First a phenomenon, then a lifestyle, eventually Marimekko grew into an outlook on life: courageous, positive and empowering. Today, its inventive yet timeless dialogue between colour, pattern and shape continues to translate into distinctive designs for fashion, accessories and home décor.
