Previously, Marimekko‘s most high profile collaboration took the form of annual partnerships with Converse, but now the Finnish design house has debuted its colorful print work on a higher profile canvas: namely, a Finnair Airbus A340 flying between Helsinki and Asia, adorned with Marimekko’s celebrated Unikko floral print. An additional aircraft in Marimekko livery takes flight in Spring 2013, while the entire Finnair fleet will feature a Marimekko for Finnair collection of textiles and tableware, also starting in Spring 2013. The pieces will be available for sale aboard Finnair flights (or you can purchase them now from the Finnair online store). Continue reading for previews of the designs, as well as a video overview of the high-flying project.

Converse and Finnish textile company Marimekko are continuing their creative partnership into Spring 2012. Marimekko is celebrated for its colorful original prints, five of which will adorn the canvas upper of some of Converse’s most recognized silhouettes. The Lokki design (meaning “seagull”) is featured on two Chuck Taylor styles (one high, the other a low) as well as a Jack Purcell Helen, a woman’s version of the iconic sneaker named after Jack’s wife. Like the Lokki, the floral blue Unikko print (meaning “poppy”) is designed by Maija Isola and also appears on a Chuck Taylor High. They’re joined by two more Maija Isola creations in the Muija in yellow (woman) and Appelsiini (orange), both of which are applied to Jack Purcell Helens. Finally, the red and white Kameka print by Annika Rimala spruces up a pair of Chuck Taylor All Star PJs. Check out all the looks after the click.
