Afrikan kuningatar Added by Marimekko

The Queen of Africa by Oiva Toikka.

Commissioned by Marimekko, Oiva Toikka designed a completely new children?s fabric entitled Afrikan kuningatar (The Queen of Africa) for Save the Children Finland's Tiukula House which was opened in May 2005.

The starting point of the design was to make a children?s fabric that could also be used in a public space. In this fabric, exciting animals of the jungle peep out from among the grass. Part of the proceeds from sales of the fabric goes to the work of Save the Children Finland.
