Arabia Finland × WWF • Seal Pup

This seal pup ceramic figurine was crafted by Arabia Finland as part of a collaboration series with the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) in the 1980s.

Designer Lillemor Mannerheim captured the image of the Arctic seal using soft lines and a tranquil expression, intending to raise awareness for marine ecology and wildlife conservation through everyday objects.

The piece features rounded forms and gentle proportions that convey the quiet presence of the Arctic seal, perfectly embodying the texture, weight, and natural atmosphere of 1980s Nordic ceramics. With no superfluous ornamentation, it uses only clean shapes and a soft expression to present a quiet object meant to be placed and seen in daily life.
