Marimekko’s philosophy of life emerged from the fabric designs of Maija Isola, reaching architectural heights together with Maija’s large scale prints. Today, Maija Isola’s fabric designs have conquered the whole world. But who was Maija Isola? What were the values at the centre of this vagabond’s life, and what kind of a legacy did she leave us?
