I've been bursting to tell you this bit of news for 8 months now: just unpacked in Marimekko shops around the world are two Mielie cushion designs that form part of their Domino spring collection. This design also spans a range of clothing and bags. We are delighted to have been part of the process, which started with Zanele and I visiting their head office in Helsinki in may last year. Special thanks to Outi of Mum's our awesome Scandinavian distributor who made it happen.
Unfortunately I can't post you any photo's of the cushions here - you'll just have to pop into your nearest Marimekko outlet.
Check the collection out here and view our cushions here - top row, left and right.
Oh, and if you live in Africa and have never heard of Marimekko, fear not: you will probably recognise this classic Marimekko design, called Unikko.
Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful.

They beautiful! Colours are so striking...
just to let you know, MIELIE is mentioned at the hang-tag of the cushion. This was no co-branding with Marimekko, unfortunately, but we`re working on it! And every cushion carries the weaver`s name, of course!
fantastic achievement. i have to say though - i prefer mielie's own designs to marimekkos :)
... will pop into one of their shops in Copenhagen next week - everyone is busy with CPH Fashion Week on this week - and see if I can get some photos for you.
wow adri & ALL mielie weavers, the cushions are FANTASTIC... i think marimekko could have given you some credit though!
Yes, unfortunately no photos, just text and this text will lead you to cushion-collection:

The cushions are SO beautiful- Mielie-weavers are able to do anything! Thank you so much.
A small thing within the story- all started in July 2008 already when a short letter was written for Marimekko. In December I had an honour to bake chocolate cake and italian bread for visitors from Marimekko visiting my home and MUM`s. And Adri`s and Zanele`s visit in May 2009 to Finland was just the "last crown".
What a great adventure!
Best regards from a true Marimekko fan, even before and from now on forever.
