A beautifully minimal pair of stoneware cocoa mugs from Arabia’s ‘Oliivi’ series, designed by Olga Osol and manufactured between 1969–1973. These sturdy, perfectly balanced mugs feature a refined olive-green stripe around the rim — a quiet detail that elevates their minimal, matte beige surface, and a wonderful example of the pared-back aesthetic of Finnish modernism.
Osol’s work for Arabia is prized for its functionalist clarity and timeless appeal. The 'Oliivi' series, though short-lived, reflects these values with its solid stoneware body and understated decoration —combining Nordic practicality with thoughtful design.
Originally designed for cocoa, these mugs are perfect for generous servings of coffee or whatever fuels your day. Their sturdy form and satisfying heft make them feel good in the hand, whether you're lingering over breakfast or powering through an afternoon work session. Everyday objects, made a little better.
Mugs from this series are rare finds today, especially in pairs, making them a true collectible for lovers of Finnish design. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Finnish design history—quietly sophisticated, timelessly functional.
