Leipzig, 28/09/2021 – Together with Bavaria Sonor Licensing (BSL), a division of Bavaria Media GmbH, Posterlounge is developing high-quality poster designs of the popular Moomin characters by the Finnish-Swedish author, Tove Jansson.
The bright colours of the lovingly made designs with Moomintroll, Moominpappa, Moominmamma, Little My and the Snorks convey a cheerful feeling that fits perfectly into every child’s room.
