DescriptionDescription: Design Research owner Ben Thompson discovered Marimekko via his friends Robert and Margaret Eskridge. They were architects who had become acquainted with Marimekko’s founder Armi Ratia during their time on the Fulbright exchange program in Finland in 1957–1958. Dresses that they took home to the US captured Thompson’s interest and spurred him to start selling the company’s unconventional fabrics and clothes.
