Story

Moments is Lingon Design’s tribute to the Moomin family and the Baltic Sea.

Inspired by seashells and the sea, the two shell halves come together and gently clink against each other as you move. Their meeting is a small reminder of connection – of the people and moments we want to keep close, and of the sea and nature we share and need to care for, all year round.

The shells are inspired by the simple, characteristic shape of a seashell, with softly rounded corners and a gently folded surface. The five folds create a play of light and shadow, adding depth to the design.

Created in 2020 as part of the #OURSEA campaign, Moments was made in collaboration with Moomin Characters Ltd and the John Nurminen Foundation. Moments brings together Tove Jansson’s Moomin world, the Baltic Sea and a message of care.

Description

A delicate silver necklace featuring two seashell halves with a simple, softly angular shape and five gentle folds across the surface. The shells move naturally against each other, creating a quiet little clink when worn.

A meaningful piece to wear close to your heart – celebrating connection while carrying a small reminder to care for the sea and its future.

Interview with Lina for Moomin Characters

"We are very pleased to report that the Moomin necklace has arrived! My wife was touched not only by the necklace itself, but also the care in wrapping, the story of the Moomins, and lore of the Baltic Sea. I am especially pleased that some of the proceeds go to the care of the Baltic. We look forward to visiting again soon."
