(Mida pead oma elus suurimaks saavutuseks?) What do you think is the biggest accomplishment in your life?
Creating from scratch the Marimekko brand as a household name in bedding on the U.S. market, with sales reaching over 100M $. Also two of my greatest design objects are the Palaset- storage series and the Marimekko shoulder bag, both created in the 70’s. These have become design classics.
(Kui Sa ei oleks sündinud Ristomatti Ratiana, kellena Sa oleks tahtnud sündida?) If you were not born as Ristomatti Ratia, who would you have liked to be born as? I can’t imagine!
(Kuidas tekkis Sinus sisustusarmastus?) How was the love for design born?
I don’t know exactly, I’ve just always had my own way of doing things. Already aged 14 I designed my own bedroom. My mother called up a magazine, and it ended up on the cover…
(Kuidas sündis Marimekko, millal?) How was Marimekko born? When?
My parents ran the textile printing company Printex. They started making beautiful striking fabrics. But nobody was buying them, it seemed people didn’t know what to use them for. So my mother had the idea of making dresses out of the fabrics (mekko= dress in Finnish). Soon we had six sewing machines in our living room!
(Millistes riikides on Marimekko esindatud? Kas see jõuab ka Eestisse, millal?) In which countries Marimekko is represented? Is it coming to Estonia as well? When? In over 60 countries. It’s not up to me, but who knows, one day it might come to Estonia as well.
(Mis paneb sind oma tööd armastama?) What makes you love your work?
I get a kick out of discovering new things.
(Milliseid huvitavaid projekte on Sul veel teoksil?) Do you have some more interesting projects that you are working with right now?
New exciting bags.
Houses in Saaremaa.
Products inspired by and created from childrens’ stories, which we will also write.
(Kuidas hindad eestlaste ja soomlaste teadlikkust sisustamisest?) How do you evaluate Estonians and Finnish knowledge about design?
It is very high in both countries. There are more than 200 countries where people don’t even know the word design.
(Mis on Sinu eesmärgid?) What are you goals in the future?
To spend more time with the people I love.
(Millises on järgneva aasta sisustustrendid Sinu nägemuse järgi?) What are the trends in design this year trough your eyes?
As a counter-effect to globalization, there will be a lot of personalized, local products created.
