Hoptimist Decorative figurine Bimble M

Firmly convinced of the power of a smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created the cheerful Hoptimist movement in the late 60s. The goal was to design a figurine that would constantly remind people of the importance of staying positive and optimistic. Because, while the 60s are often referred to as "the happy 60s", this decade was marked by disturbing events. This is why the joy spread by Ehrenreich's design was welcome in a rather turbulent time. Bimble and Bumble are the very first Hoptimists created by the designer: A girl in a dress with smiling eyes and a thoughtful boy with a stick on his head. Today, the cheerful Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and bring joy all over the world. The figurines are available in four different sizes and in a wide selection of colours that spread optimism, good cheer, and joy. There’s a Hoptimist for every occasion and every person.
