Moomin mugs of all time
Moomin mugs are Arabia's most iconic tableware items, and Moomin mug enthusiasts and collectors can be found everywhere in the world. Which ones do you have in your collection?
Moomin mugs 1990's
The Moomin mugs' story began in the early 1990s as Arabia asked illustrator Tove Slotte to design Moomin themes on the mugs from Arabia's Teema tableware series. Tove Jansson's original illustrations from her Moomin stories were an ever-inspiring source and still are today.

At the end of 2022, the beloved illustrator Tove Slotte retired after a decades-long career designing Arabia's Moomin items.

The Alphabet Collection with bigger Moomin mugs invites you to set the table with meaningful words and surprise your family & friends with the mugs with their initials. New letters are introduced every year until the alphabet is complete. The letters paired with Moomin characters are based on Tove Jansson's hand-drawn lettering appearing, e.g. in Moomin maps. The collection is part of Moomin Characters' Reading, Writing and the Moomins initiative, spreading the joy of reading and writing.

In 2023, new magical winds started blowing. Arabia celebrated their 150th anniversary and introduced the first mug design, Journey, by illustrator Parvati Pillai from the freshly-appointed in-house design team. The "by" was dropped from Arabia's Moomin brand name and logo, and the Journey mug became the first one with the new Moomin Arabia bottom stamp.
