sentences:  The collaboration between Isola and Ratia was an "unusual creative power game" characterised by "vitality and inventiveness" rather than a harmonious understanding.The tone for this was set when, in 1964, Isola "provocatively" defied Ratia's statement that she hated floral patterns, setting the style of the company by painting the famous "Unikko" (Poppy) pattern in bold pink, red and black on white; the pattern has been in production ever since.It was one of some eight floral designs that Ratia chose from Isola's portfolio in that period.
