The Swedish-speaking author and artist Tove Jansson became famous worldwide as the creator of the Moomin stories, which are about a family of adventurous trolls that live in Moomin Valley with their friends.
The stories of the white, round Moomin trolls with big snouts were written and illustrated between 1945 and 1980, and they have since been translated into more than fifty languages.
The objective for Ulrik Nordentoft, the designer behind the HOTTIE vacuum jug, was to create an optimum everyday object as a modern interpretation of old school functional design. The design philosophy, therefore, was based on “simple lines”, with a particular emphasis on a natural, smooth transition from body to spout.
Inside, HOTTIE is a classic vacuum jug with a glass insert that will keep coffee or tea hot for hours. The bottom of the vacuum jug can be unscrewed, allowing the glass insert to be replaced in case of breakage. This provides the vacuum jug with a longer lifespan, making it both money saving and better for the environment.
