A Hoptimist is all about smiles, optimism and high spirits. Give a Hoptimist and experience the joy of giving. Gustav Ehrenreich created the first figures in the late 1960s, which have gone on to earn themselves a place in Danish design history. Today, the happy movement consists of a wealth of happy, brightly coloured Hoptimists for every occasion.
Most smiles start with another smile. The classic Hoptimist is the epitome of smiles, optimism and good mood, and with its bright, happy colours and round, harmonious expressions, it spreads joy wherever it ends up.
With a strong belief in the power of the smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created his happy Hoptimist movement in the late 1960s and are today part of Danish design history and create joy around the world. The figures are available in four different sizes and in a wide selection of colours. There is guaranteed to be a Hoptimist for every occasion and every person.
In the late 1960s, Gustav Ehrenreich created the happy movement that has since found a place in Danish design history. Today there is a happy Hoptimist for every occasion. That's why you can always find a Hoptimist who wants to please wherever it ends up. That is the whole idea behind the Hoptimists: To spread joy and put smiles on everyone's lips.
Today, when we further develop the design, we do so in the spirit of Ehrenreich. His basic idea was to draw the Hoptimists based on a circle and an ellipse, and that idea underlies both the classics and the new generation of figures.
Before the Hoptimists saw the light of day, the Danish woodturner Hans Gustav Ehrenreich tinkered in his workshop in the house n Stilling.
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.
In the late 1960s, Ehrenreich created the first prototypes for Birdie, Bimble and Bumble. Soon Ehrenreich and his Hoptimists became too familiar with what the small workshop could produce. The rest of that story has today become Danish design history.
In 2009, the Hoptimist was relaunched, and today the figures are jumping again in both Denmark and the rest of the world. When they develop the design today, they do so in Ehrenreich's spirit. His basic idea was to draw the Hoptimists based on a circle and an ellipse, and that idea underlies both the classics and the new generation of figures.
