Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. They have appeared on Finnair planes several times through the 1990s and 2000s as part of promotionnal campaigns and were a logical addition to the centennial celebrations of the airline. Main characters Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden could be seen sharing a hug aft of the plane on these two A350s.

Marimekko Kivet 

#4

OH-LWL
2017-

Marimekko is a Finnish design company based in Helsinki that has made important contributions to fashion, especially in the 1960s. Since 2012 the iconic Marimekko patterns can be seen on tableware and textiles inside Finnair aircraft. Kivet is Finnish for "stones". The Marimekko website states that "Maija Isola created the Kivet fabric in 1956 by cutting out rounds of coloured paper with scissors. The print’s shapes likely originate from the large, rough-edged stones cleared from the site of the artist´s studio home."
