In the Moominpappa Moomin mug from the Moomin Classics collection, Moominpappa prepares the Moominhouse for the winter so the family stays warm during their hibernation. The cold stays outside and the warm inside when the windows are insulated with boards, and there’s enough firewood. Often longing for adventures and telling stories about the courageous travels of his youth, Moominpappa is also a dedicated family Moomin who always does his best to take care of his duties.
Moominpappa is boyish and adventurous, but still proud of being the head of the family. He enjoys deep thinking and always wants to be there whenever something surprising happens. Writing is very important to Moominpappa.
Moomin Classics series features each character of the Moominvalley emphasizing each one’s own typical traits. The artwork present the characters from the front and behind and tells the story of that specific character. Arabia’s Moomins are turned from stories to ceramic illustrations by designer Tove Slotte. She has been drawing Moomins onto Arabia items since the beginning of the 1990s. 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.
