The enchanting and mystical Ancestor of the Moomins is small and hairy, only moves in the night time, and never speaks. He lives in the Moominhouse parlor behind the tile stove and decorates the Moominhouse as he likes, for example, by turning paintings upside down.

The mugs, bowls and plates of Arabia’s Moomin Classics tableware collection illustrate the characters of Moominvalley from the front and behind.

All the illustrations are done by Tove Slotte. The designer draws inspiration from Tove Jansson’s original illustrations, which she adapts to ceramic shapes. The Moomins have always been close to Tove Slotte’s heart. She articulated the significance of the Moomins nicely when she said: I think everyone should enjoy a little dose of Moomin philosophy every day.
