If you haven't fallen for them yet, it's just a matter of time. The Moomin mugs by Arabia are no longer just cute souvenirs from Finland — they've become full-on design icons.
You'll find them in minimalist kitchens, on curated shelves next to vintage vases, and all over Pinterest and Instagram. Collectors adore them. Casual fans get hooked. And honestly? They're kind of irresistible.
Let's talk about why.
You could drink your coffee out of anything. But there's something about holding a Moomin mug that just hits different. The illustrations, pulled straight from Tove Jansson's whimsical world, carry stories and characters that feel both nostalgic and oddly modern.
Each mug has its own vibe:
Soft pinks with Snorkmaiden — romantic, dreamy, a little extra.
Deep blues and forests with Snufkin — for the introverted adventurer.
Firetruck red with Little My — bold, mischievous, chaos but cute.
They don't just hold liquid. They hold personality.
Arabia (yes, the legendary Finnish ceramics brand) doesn't do basic. These mugs are high-quality porcelain, dishwasher-safe, and perfectly stackable — but what really sets them apart is the art.
It's like someone printed a page from your favorite childhood book and turned it into kitchenware. The details are that good.
The best part? They actually fit into any interior style:
Minimalist? Go for the monochrome mugs with The Groke or Hattifatteners.
Colorful eclectic? Mix every shade — they look amazing together.
Soft Scandinavian vibe? The seasonal pastels are made for you.
Let's talk hype. Arabia drops limited editions — especially the Moomin's Day mugs — and they sell out. Fast.
There have only been four so far:
2018
2021
2023
2024
Each released on August 9th (Moomin's Day) in small batches. Blink and they're gone. If you manage to grab one? You're holding a piece of design history (and possibly a future resale goldmine 💸).
They're perfect for birthdays, new apartments, holiday gifts, or just as a "yes-I-deserve-pretty-things" treat. There's a mug for everyone, whether they're into vintage books, slow mornings, bold color, or Nordic cool.
