Against throwawayism.
Arabia is a trailblazer in modern Finnish design. Its product selection consists of popular ranges of dishes and design gift products. The highly valued Arabia products are characterized by a timeless beauty as well as fantastic quality and functionality.
Arabia dishes, made to be used and displayed, hold a central position in Finnish lives: thanks to their innovative and distinctive design, they are equally at home on the kitchen table and at festive occasions.
For almost 140 years, Arabia has provided an expression of the era; not just distinctive design but genuinely consumer-led approaches have been its strengths. Arabia is consistently at the top of the list of the most esteemed brands in Finland and their products have become very collectable. Arabia’s first factory buildings were erected in 1874 on the northern outskirts of Helsinki. Skilled workers were brought over from Sweden, supplemented by craftsmen recruited from other Finnish potteries.
