Arabia's Ruija series is a notable example of Finnish ceramic design from the 1970s. The collection was a collaborative effort between two of Arabia's distinguished designers: Raija Uosikkinen, who crafted the decorative patterns, and Ulla Procopé, who designed the forms.

The Ruija series is characterized by its earthy tones and nature-inspired motifs, reflecting the designers' appreciation for Finland's natural landscapes. The pieces often feature hand-painted leaf and berry patterns in brown and green hues, set against a beige background. This aesthetic not only captures the essence of Nordic design but also emphasizes functionality and simplicity.

The enduring appeal of the Ruija series lies in its timeless design and the way it encapsulates the harmony between form and decoration-a testament to the collaborative genius of Uosikkinen and Procopé.
