Available from May 8, 2024 The Summer Season Mug 2024 "Berry Season" continues the theme of previous summer mugs by depicting Moomins engaged in summery activities. This time, the illustration shows the Moomin family in the garden making jam. Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden are stomping on freshly picked currants in a bathtub, which serves perfectly as a container in this scenario. The summer 2024 season collection also includes a plate and beach textiles, along with a renewed series of drinking glasses featuring new summery illustrations. The Moomin Arabia design team has adapted the illustration based on Tove Jansson's comic stories, "Moominmamma’s Maid" (1956) and "The Conscientious Moomin" (1958).
