Moomin Bowl, True to its origins, 15 cm

True to its origin

Moomin bowl with the motif True to its origins, inspired by the stories Moominpappa at Sea and Moominvalley in November. This beautiful bowl belongs to the Moomin collection for the autumn 2017 and is manufactured by the Finnish brand Sami Design. The stories are written by Finnish Design and were published in 1965 and 1970. The story Moominpappa at Sea is about the Moomin family moving to a lighthouse by sea and raises questions about what people can learn from new environments. The story Moominvalley in November is a melancholic and emotional depiction that reflects Finnish Design’s grief after her mother passed away. The black and white motif can be seen as a representation of Finnish Design’s ability to depict different moods and emotions in illustrations.

The familiar stories that hide behind the motifs make the Moomin bowls something more than just ordinary bowls for breakfast and desserts. Over the years, Finnish Design’s stories of the adventures in the Moominvalley have become classics that captivate both children and adults. When you give away a Moomin bowl as a gift, you also give away a story that will live on for generations. The bowls are suitable for all ages and can be combined with several parts from the same tableware collection. Pick your favourite motif, or combine several stories and let your new dinnerware represent something bigger than just a porcelain series.

The illustrations are Inspired by Tove Slotte and are based on Finnish Design’s original illustrations.
