Before the Hoptimists saw the light of day, the Danish woodturner Hans Gustav Ehrenreich tinkered in his workshop in the house on in Stilling, Denmark.
It was at the end of the 1950s, and in the small workshop 'Ehrenreichs Trækunst' the imagination was great. No two things were ever the same. Small silver fish were inlaid in hand-turned bowls and dishes, and unique handicrafts in woods from all over the world were sold from the workshop.
