Always Mod, a retailer that specializes in selling products from world-renowned Finnish textile and design company, Marimekko, is currently holding their "biggest Marimekko sale ever," offering savings of 20 to 40 percent off of Marimekko items now through July 15th, while supplies last. If you're unfamiliar with Marimekko's bold designs, you can see
some of them here. Here are a few products I wouldn't mind taking home from the sale:

We all know that
Marimekko is too darn hot right now. It's made appearances in the Sex and the City movie (in Carrie's apartment), at H&M stores worldwide, and in major retail catalogs such as CB2. I'm personally loving the color and pattern on this
Marimekko Red on Red Pillow ($19), from Etsy seller WhiffletreeFarm.
If you've yet to tire of its print, you can welcome the
Marimekko Unikko Tray ($29, reduced from $42) into your home for a Spring
garden party, or even just breakfast in bed. I'm envisioning it serving up some fresh lemonade and cucumber sandwiches, perhaps. It would also make an eye-catching catch-all for your foyer landing strip/console, if you have one, or a perky inbox for your
organized desk.
According to FabSugar, Finnish textile design company
Marimekko will be "lending its signature vivid prints and colors to H&M's Spring '08 collection," and I hear even
Manolo Blahnik is taking a cue from Marimekko's bold patterns. Also, Anthropologie has created its own crave worthy
upholstered furniture with the textiles. Since the textile industry is often responsible for trends in both the home décor and fashion worlds, I suspect you'll soon be longing for some Marimekko in your life.
Though this
Kassiopeia Fabric comes from Finnish brand Marimekko, it has a sort of Asian-inspired fantasy vibe. Together with the cool-yet-fiery color combo, the pattern is very unique. How could you use these ideas in a room.
