Marimekko ist probably my all-time favourite brand (although I generally don't care much about brand names) but their design is very unique and timeless. In Finland it's an institution and items are handed down from one generation to another, I suppose it's also a question of national pride in way. I especially like the organic inspired patterns but there are many other beautiful ones. Here a few examples:
These ones use images, too [and I'm trying to think what word represents the opposite of "abstract"]:
And this is probably the most famous pattern, "Unikko". I don't like it very much but it has become almost synonyme for the Marimekko-brand.
You can find more information on the official Marimekko website.
