Taikamylly Fabric

Designed by: Sanna Annukka
Made by: Marimekko

Chances are your bedside reading doesn’t include Finland’s national epic, The Kalevala, but that should not preclude you from tucking
in under textiles imprinted with folkloric patterns inspired by the 50-part poem. Sanna Annukka’s new collection for Marimekko includes her rendition of the mythical Sampo.

- I actually just added 'The Kalevala' to my bedside table. Anything that inspired this has got to be equally beautiful.

- Kalevala - a wonderful story. High schools should include it on the list of mandatory readings.
