What’s new: Arabia’s Puutarhurit tableware collection

Spring is the perfect time for plant care and changing soil, but if you happen to be all thumbs around anything green, worry not! You can now bring the lively atmosphere of the plant world into your home décor more effortlessly. Finnish Design Shop introduces Arabia’s new Puutarhurit tableware collection, designed by the multi-talented Armi Teva.

ARABIA'S TABLEWARE has conquered hearts and cupboards for over 150 years with timeless design and beautiful patterns, perfect for both everyday dinners and festive feasts.

Now, the beloved design brand introduces the new Puutarhurit - which is Finnish for “Gardeners” - dinnerware, featuring a playful pattern that will surely delight home gardeners but fit seamlessly into the kitchens of those without a green thumb, too!

In the lively Puutarhurit pattern, expressive creatures peek out from among the garden plants – but are they shy or just curious? That's for you to decide!

The quirky gardeners adorn Arabia's pots as well. Available in two different sizes, you're sure to find a new home for the green plants in your home.

Please note that the porcelain pots do not have a drainage hole at the bottom so we recommend using draining rocks or a plastic pot inside it. The Puutarhurit plant pot also works wonderfully as a decorative cover pot – or, of course, as a charming storage vessel just for the fun of it.

The Puutarhurit pattern has been brought to life by Finnish designer Armi Teva, whose works have previously featured various whimsical characters. Teva, who holds a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Aalto University, is a versatile artist with skills ranging from design to ceramics, illustration, visual storytelling, and glass art.
