Primavera (spring in Italian) is a Iittala & Marimekko collaboration. The pattern depicts a popular summer flower, the Pot Marigold, and has a vibrant and energetic summer feel. This design will make summer last all year in your home.
It is designed by Marimekko's best-known designer Maija Isola. Isola painted it in the 70s, whilst living along the Mediterranean coast in Algeria, where Pot Marigolds are a common addition to local cuisine! According to Marimekko, the design also reflects Isola’s home sickness and yearning for Finland.
Maija Isola’s daughter Kristiina Isola adapted the original print for the dishes. These rare delights were only sold for a few years in the early 2000s. Primavera dishes were made in eight colours, which are fun to mix: yellow, orange, lilac, blue, light green, dark green, red and pink.
Primavera will instantly brighten your home and make your everyday beautiful.
A plate mainly for soup, that can also be used as a bowl for breakfast, pasta, rice or side dishes. Combine different colors and shapes to make your table colorful and fun. Adding a single beautiful bowl can create a new kind of atmosphere.
These lovely Primavera bowls have some worn spots in the paint - as is typical for the delicate Primavera series. There are also some signs of wear and small scratches inside the bowls. Please see the additional photos for examples.
