Great Gifts: Marimekko Coasters

If coffee tables could talk, they'd ask Santa for these Marimekko coasters featuring the Finnish textile firm's signature Unikko design.

Unikko, which means "poppy" in Finnish, came about in 1964 after Marimekko founder Armi Ratia publicly announced that absolutely no floral fabrics were designed at her progressive textile firm.

But in spirited defiance of such a restriction, designer Maija Isola created a complete collection of bold floral patterns, thus giving birth to the iconic Unikko print.

Who wouldn't want to rest (their holiday cup o' cheer) on those laurels?

Set of 6 Marimekko Unikko Coasters available in black, red, lime or blue, $10 at FinnishGifts.com
