Kalevala x Marimekko Garden collaboration collection brings Marimekko’s new floral prints into Kalevala’s timeless design language
The collection interprets the works of five Marimekko print designers, resulting in a creative, handcrafted jewelry series. The collection blossoms into a modern floral meadow, inviting everyone to pick their own favourites.
The collection is based on five floral prints by designers Erja Hirvi, Masaru Suzuki, Aino-Maija Metsola, Antti Kekki and Eija Vehviläinen, created for Marimekko’s Field of Flowers exhibition. The Field of Flowers exhibition toured across Asia throughout 2025, showcasing the latest additions to Marimekko’s art of printmaking.
Nature has inspired both design houses for decades. For Marimekko flowers symbolize timeless beauty and unrestrained joy. Kalevala Jewelry, in turn, draws its design language from the power of Nordic nature and is known for its sculptural forms.
Five floral prints, one collectible jewelry collection
Kalevala x Marimekko Garden is a collectible jewelry series featuring five floral charms, along with bracelets and necklaces that can be combined to create a personalized piece. The collection highlights the distinctive styles of five artists, now transformed into three-dimensional silver Kalevala jewelry.
“Floral prints are symbols of joy, everyday beauty and creativity for Marimekko and an essential part of our design language. We are excited about the new Kalevala x Marimekko Garden collaboration, where these fresh floral prints gain an entirely new and intriguing dimension. Our print designers’ works are beautifully transformed into Kalevala jewelry in this collection,” says Sanna-Kaisa Niikko, Chief Marketing Officer at Marimekko.
“For nearly 90 years, Kalevala Jewelry has been a bold innovator in jewelry design. The Kalevala x Marimekko Garden collection created in collaboration with Marimekko brings playfulness and lightness to our spring collections. The new collectible jewelry series continues our idea of versatility and meaningful design. Our design draws inspiration from Nordic nature, and now a joyful bouquet of Marimekko’s floral prints finds its way among our jewelry,” says Aino Ahlnäs, Creative Director at Kalevala Jewelry.
Almanakka, Antti Kekki, 2024
Erja Hirvi created the joyfully blooming Kukasta kukkaan print on the floor of her summer cottage, fully immersed in floral motifs. The loosely designed pattern took shape through painting and reflects the countless positions flowers take in nature. The name refers to the playful flight of bees among summer flowers.

Paahde, Aino-Maija Metsola, 2024
The inspiration for the Paahde print came from Aino-Maija Metsola’s vegetable garden, where she had planted sunflowers. They grew exceptionally tall and striking — so large that the heavy flower heads eventually bent their stems.
Rantakukka, Mazaro Suzuki, 2024
The starting point for the Rantakukka print was a small, almost unnoticed flower. Masaru Suzuki focused on this modest bloom and magnified its scale into something monumental. The print reminds us that even the smallest details can carry unexpected significance.
Vinkkeli, Eija Vehviläinen, 2024
The playful Vinkkeli print carries memories of the atmosphere at the designer’s grandparents’ summer cottage.
The pattern is built from four identical flowers arranged in different directions. Eija Vehviläinen enjoys working with repetition and mirroring — the creative challenge lies in maintaining visual interest using only a few elements.
