Moomin Arabia Moomin plate, Muskrat, beige

The Muskrat plate by Moomin Arabia features a seldom-seen character, a serious-minded philosopher who prefers the company of his own pessimistic thoughts or perhaps a book of equally pessimistic nature. In Muskrat’s view, everything is futile – a sentiment he is sure to share with anyone around him – yet he insists on maintaining his own dignity.

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.
