As part of Marimekko's ongoing efforts to promote the brand worldwide, this piece is from a line of posters sent to distributors, press, and agents to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Marimekko in 1976 that focused on designers and makers at the company. Because they weren't available to the public, they are exceptionally rare and mostly exist in museums and in prominent collections. This poster highlights Finnish designer Annika Piha (whe later used her married name of Annika Rimala) and her artistic contributions to Marimekko. Piha worked for Marimekko from 1960-1982 and designed the company's first knitwear collection, Tasaraita, in 1968. The striped Tasaraita shirts became a symbol of the time, eventually depicted on a postage stamp in 1998.
In good condition with light wear consistent with age.
