The Moomins have been part of our imaginations for eighty years — mischievous, tender, endlessly curious. Their creator, Tove Jansson, gave us not only unforgettable characters but also a philosophy of life: the courage to be yourself, the joy of companionship, and the quiet beauty of nature’s rhythms.
The Art of the Sea: 23 Knitwear Designs Inspired by the Moomins celebrates that legacy through the art of knitting. With 23 patterns by 18 international designers, it translates the atmosphere of Moominvalley into stitches: garments and accessories that carry the warmth of Moominmamma’s embrace, the wit of Little My, the independence of Snufkin, and the salt-tinged breath of the northern sea.
The idea was born from childhood encounters with Jansson’s stories and the magic of discovering her world through art. Bringing it to life has been one of our most heartfelt projects at Laine, a tribute to both the Moomins’ enduring relevance and Jansson’s timeless creativity.
The patterns are created by the following designers: Pauliina Leisti, Fiona Alice, Maja Kløvdal, Alma Bali, Marie Régnier, Charlotte Stone, Julia Wilkens, Soumine Kim, Camille Romano, Dee Hardwicke, Lotta H. Löthgren, Maaike van Geijn, Paula Pereira, Sari Nordlund, Kaori Katsurada, Jihyun Seong, Olga Putano and Karoline Skovgaard.

”I remember the general store in my hometown, where, near the cash register, I found my first Moomin comic book. The black-and-white drawings opened a secret world: a place beyond the ordinary, thrilling and mysterious, yet held together by the gentle safety of Moominmamma’s apron strings.”
