We visit Finnish master of pattern Marimekko and discover the intricacies of its in-house printing mill. Marimekko’s creative director, Rebekka Bay, calls it “a bustling, free-spirited playground of creativity”, which has been running since the 1970s. Today it is one of the only remaining industrial-scale printing facilities in the Nordics, as our correspondent Petri Burtsoff discovered.

Scottish indie-soul newcomer Brooke Combe is making waves. Her debut album, ‘Dancing at the Edge of the World’, was released in January and features 11 tracks of lush live-band arrangements, all carried by her distinctive raspy tone. Konfekt’s Paige Reynolds meets her in Edinburgh to talk about where her passion for music began, the magic of analogue recording and why she’s ready to spearhead a Motown comeback.
