About
Armi Ratia forever transformed the world of design with her iconic brand: Marimekko. Born on July 13, 1912, in Pälkjärvi, Finland, Ratia would soon become one of Finland’s most famous female entrepreneurs with the creation of Marimekko in 1951. Ratia’s passion for design comes from her belief in the power of textiles to bring joy, color, and creativity into people’s lives, all while rejecting the prevalent fashion industry’s norms at the time. Ratia fostered a culture of experimentation and creativity, which lives on today through Marimekko's enduring success and influence in the design space.
