Kaisla satin

Additional information

Marjatta Metsovaara designed Kaisla (reed) in 1966. The patterns and the colors of the printed fabrics designed by Marjatta Metsovaara changed at the end of the 1960s. It was replaced by monochrome, striped and large-patterned fabrics where the graphic patterns were partly pictorial. Such is the design Kaisla (reed) designed in 1966 and first shown to the public at Expo 66. Kaisla was first made as a carpet design for Hotel Kuusamo in 1966. It shows clear influences for and from modern painting. The two-colored nature of the design and the distortion, depression, and waving affects the viewer like op-art. It gives the viewer the impression of movement and warping.
Permanently flame retardant material printed with brilliant colors and sharp contours, the fabric has a slightly more shiny look than our heavy satin cotton qualities.

The fabric is certified in accordance with the STANDARD 100 by OEKOTEX® Class 2 - the highest category for permanently fire retardant fabrics and home textiles. The high-end material absorbs almost no water when washed and dries almost instantly.
