Moomin Arabia introduces the BEAMS Japan collaboration
Moomin Arabia and BEAMS Japan unveil a limited edition collaboration that brings together two cultural worlds shaped by storytelling, craftsmanship and a shared sense of play. First launched in Japan to mark the 80th anniversary of the Moomin stories, the collection now arrives in the Nordics with a curated selection of ceramics, clothing and accessories.
At the heart of the release is a hand‑painted mug featuring Moomin and Snorkmaiden, inspired by Arabia’s earliest Moomin tableware from the 1950s. The soft, watercolour feel of Tove Jansson’s original illustrations is reinterpreted through BEAMS’ signature colour palette, complete with a special bottom stamp created for the collaboration. Alongside it comes a miniature ceramic Moominmamma figurine, based on Tuulikki Pietilä’s 1990s design and updated with BEAMS’ iconic orange handbag.
BEAMS Japan also contributes a capsule of T‑shirts, caps and pins featuring Moomin and Snorkmaiden motifs, translating the expression of the classic ceramics into contemporary wardrobe pieces.
Available exclusively through Moomin Arabia’s online store in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland from June 3, 2026, the collection celebrates heritage, craftsmanship and the enduring charm of the Moomin universe.
