Abstract

Arabia is one of the leading ceramic factories in northern Europe, an important brand recognized by its designers and unique products associated with Finland. With its managers and designers, it has always had an innovative, characteristic identity. Throughout its history it has played an important role in the development of tableware culture in Scandinavian countries and also European countries with its understanding of product development to make everyday life more beautiful rather than just producing tableware to meet needs.
