Moomin Arabia Moomin mug, Hemulen, yellow

The Hemulen mug from Arabia’s Moomin collection features an illustration of the character looking for new additions to his plant collection. On the other side of the mug, Hemulen’s adventures have resulted in his purple dress getting wet, and he is holding a branch to use as firewood to dry the dress up. The colorful mug was released in 2023, and its illustrations are based on Tove Jansson’s novel Finn Family Moomintroll from 1948.

The mugs, bowls and plates of Arabia’s Moomin Classics tableware collection illustrate the characters of the Moominvalley from the front and behind. The first pieces of Arabia’s Moomin tableware came out already in the 1950s, and large-scale production began in 1990. All the illustrations are done by Tove Slotte who draws inspiration from the original drawings by Tove Jansson. The form of the collection comes from Arabia’s timeless, ceramic Teema tableware designed by Kaj Franck.
