Recently I quite interested in Finland lifestyle brand. It is called Mari Mekko. It is famous by its iconic flower patterns. The reason why I like it is because the color they use on products are very vivid and you can feel the energy and happiness from the brand. Besides, since the brand come from the North Europe, its design is simple but useful, like other North European brands. They have a very big range of products, for example apparel, home decor.. so it’s like a whole lifestyle brand.
