MARIMEKKO
The Finnish fashion and design house Marimekko is
launching an eyewear collection with eyewear designer
and distributor Mondottica. The first products of the
collection, conceived and developed by Mondottica in
collaboration with the Marimekko design team, were to
hit the Finnish market in August, with a global launch
of the whole collection including sunglasses set for
late 2015.
The collection will feature classic prints and a unique
colour palette that celebrates the company’s art of printmaking. The love of nature has inspired brushed wood
effect finishing, while Marimekko’s timeless dialogue
between colours comes alive through the play of contrasts
with palettes and materials.
In the new collection, Mondottica has used its expertise
to include the combination of unique materials and techniques matched with carefully crafted details. From shiny
and brush finishes of handmade acetates and stainless
steel metals, each product has been designed to epitomise
Marimekko’s joy of life.
