'Poppoo': A New Collection of Playful Tableware by Arabia
Fiskars Japan Co., Ltd., the operator of the esteemed Finnish lifestyle brand Arabia, has announced the launch of its new collection, 'Poppoo', alongside a collectible mug series titled 'Luonto'. Set to be released on March 4, 2026, at various Arabia outlets and the official online store, these collections embody the joyful spirit and enthusiasm from the early days of Arabia's tradition of children's tableware.
A Tribute to Arabia's Heritage
The vibrant 'Poppoo' collection draws inspiration from lively woodland animals and seasonal scenery, showcased through its pop colors and whimsical designs. Designed for all ages, the collection enhances meal times with a splash of fun and excitement, fostering cherished moments around the dining table.
Finland’s noted illustrator and graphic designer Matti Pikkujämsä has poured his creative spirit into the 'Poppoo' collection. Having been an ardent admirer of Arabia for years, Pikkujämsä has collected Arabia ceramics since the early 2000s. He meticulously studied the rich tapestry of historical decorative patterns and designs which influenced his artistic journey.
Matti envisioned the 'Poppoo' and 'Luonto' series by integrating the captivating expressions from Arabia’s previous décor designers, focusing on the warmth and playful essence inherent in hand-drawn art. The result is a modern interpretation of classical tableware that resonates with both tradition and contemporary sensibilities. In recent years, the enjoyment of tableware adorned with illustrations has expanded beyond children, allowing adults to also relish in the playful dining experience.
'Poppoo': Tableware Inspired by Nature and Childhood
The 'Poppoo' collection features tableware designed exclusively for children, bringing to life the enchanting animals of the Finnish forest. This new addition continues a storied tradition that has been part of Arabia's lineup since its inception. Since the 1940s, Arabia has produced uniquely designed tableware specifically for children, creating cherished items that resonate across generations.
The collection includes adorable representations of Finnish woodland creatures such as bears, foxes, rabbits, and owls, each character designed to spark imagination and tell its own story every time it is used. Engaging with children directly during product testing allowed for their perspectives to shape character designs, colors, and even the playful name 'Poppoo', sprouting from the simplicity and joy found in children’s play.
This collection comprises an array of items including mugs, bowls, plates, and cutlery, all showcasing animals that enliven family meals. Additionally, the packaging also features the same delightful illustrations, making it an ideal gift option.
