Marimekko's visions, objectives and strategy
Visions
"Marimekko's visions for the future are being forged through young designers, just like in Marimekko's early years in the 1950s.

We have a dual strategy: we create top design, but the designs must also be financially profitable."
(Kirsti Paakkanen, 2004)
