Moomin vase, 153 x 144 mm, Haru

Moomin Arabia’s Haru vase is ideal for displaying delicate meadow flowers as well as branches or bouquets. The ceramic Moomin vase features a fresh yet nostalgic blue-and-white design, where the familiar Moomin characters appear alongside flowers and plants from the Nordic archipelago.

Moomin Arabia’s Haru collection is named after Klovharun Island, a place dear to Tove Jansson, where the creator of the Moomins spent many of her summers. The design and decoration of the series also draw inspiration from Japanese aesthetics – in Japanese, 'haru' means spring. The Haru collection was designed by Nathalie Lautenbacher and Naoto Niidome, with illustrations by Moomin Arabia’s design team inspired by Tove Jansson’s original floral wreath motifs.

Moomin Arabia is a collection of Moomin products by Arabia, one of Finland's most renowned brands. The residents of Moominvalley first appeared as ceramic designs in the 1950s when artist Tove Jansson created Moomin-themed dishes and her mother, Signe "Ham" Hammarsten Jansson, crafted ceramic Moomin figures. In the 1990s, Moomin mugs designed by illustrator Tove Slotte quickly became favourites among both children and adults. Since then, Moomin Arabia products have been cherished as delightful everyday items and valuable collectables worldwide. Today, the collection includes not only dishware but also textiles.
