In honor of its 90th anniversary, Artek, the Finnish design company, launched a special collection that includes the favorite Moomin doodles on its iconic furniture pieces. The combination of Alvar Aalto’s furniture, which stands the test of time, and Moomin characters characterized by the playful manner of Tove Jansson, is the main idea of the collection. The cooperation is intended to show both the long duration that Artek has been serving and the great interest in the Moomin stories.
Moomin Charm Meets Iconic Artek Furniture
The collaboration is to be one of the Moomin illustrations that feature on some of Artek’s most recognizable pieces. These drawings, created by Moomin inventor Tove Jansson, give a fanciful touch to the stories and designs that Artek is famous for. The collection idea is to breathe the environment of joy and nostalgia into homes by bringing the old design in touch with the great story lines.
- The Moomin illustrations are the main feature of some of the furniture items that we select for this purpose.
- The designs hold the original ideas of Alvar Aalto tightly as the initial designs of the buildings they propose.
- The collection shows the glamor that is in both Moomin and Artek designs which have not waned through the years.
Alvar Aalto’s Legacy Enhanced by Moomin’s Playfulness
Alvar Aalto’s designs of the furniture are well known for their simplicity, functionality and use of natural materials. The addition of Moomin doodles brings a new dimension to these classic pieces, making the minimalist forms and whimsical illustrations a delightful contrast. This collaboration shows that even the oldest design can still be rejuvenated and tweaked to fit the audience of today perfectly.
The collaboration is a positive review of the Artek brand’s commitment to sustainability and the creation of products that stand the test of time. Artek’s furniture will become a go-to brand for all target groups, namely kids and collectors, by partnering worldwide popular Moomin symbols with their product.
A Celebration of Finnish Design and Storytelling
The launch of this anniversary collection will not only be a product release but a celebration of the Finnish cultural heritage. Both Artek and the Moomin stories are the main part of Finland’s design and literary heritage. The collaboration honors this heritage by joining together the two definitive factors of Finnish creativity.
This collection is the proof that when we use design and storytelling well, we can achieve empathy and create unforgettable memories. By connecting the furniture and the book world, Artek has designed a collection that touches the soul.

Final Thoughts
Their brand expertise of Artek for over ninety years standing has been successful in the design and manufacturing of designer products. However, its reputation for quality and innovation is clearly established and recognized. In cooperation with the Moomin brand, they manage to truly preserve their credibility as a brand that treasures the cultural legacy and creativity among other things.
The careful choice of Moomin patterns, as well as the homage paid to the original concepts of Alvar Aalto is Artek’s way of showing its devotion to authenticity and quality.
