Price History
Description
The classic Unikko pattern blooms on this cotton percale duvet cover. Marimekko's famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house's collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity. Please note that pillowcases are sold separately and not as part of a set. Standard pillowcase, L75 x W50cm Single duvet cover, L200 x W140cm Double duvet cover, L200 x W210cm King duvet cover, L220 x W225cm
Our Stylist Says
This bedding is a bold choice that adds a vibrant, graphic element to any bedroom. I love its timeless floral pattern, which pairs well with both modern and Scandi interiors. It works particularly well in neutral, understated spaces, as it provides a striking focal point without overwhelming the room. For styling, consider layering it with plain, textured blankets or cushions in complementary shades like cream or navy to create depth. It’s also versatile enough to work in various bedroom styles, from contemporary to retro. Practical tips include keeping the rest of your bedding minimal to let the pattern shine and ensuring your bed frame is simple to balance the bold print.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
