The Sniff mug by Moomin Arabia features one of Moomintroll's best friends on a beach. The illustration is based on Tove Jansson's very first Moomin comic strip from 1954, in which Sniff, dreaming of riches and fame, concocts a youth elixir – or so he believes, as is revealed later in the story. The little creature seen by Sniff's side is called Shadow, who literally shadows Sniff wherever he goes.
Arabia's Moomin Classics tableware collection brings to life the cherished inhabitants of Moominvalley across its mugs, bowls, and plates. This collection is a fusion of Finnish cultural icons: Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins, and Kaj Franck, a legendary designer. Featuring illustrations drawn from Jansson's original Moomin artworks and shaped by the timeless forms of Franck's Teema tableware, this series is a celebration of Finnish design and storytelling.
