Most smiles start with another smile. The classic Hoptimist is the epitome of smiles, optimism and good humour and spreads joy wherever it appears with its clear, cheerful colours and round, harmonious expression.

With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich created his cheerful Hoptimist movement at the end of the 1960s. The aim was to create a figure that would form an eternal reminder to stay positive and optimistic. Although the 60s are often referred to as "The Happy 60s", the decade was characterised by unrest. Ehrenreich's design was therefore a welcome source of joy in an otherwise rather turbulent time.

Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists from the designer's hand: a girl dressed for school with smiling eyes and an attentive boy with a splint on his head. Today, the cheerful Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and bring joy to children all over the world. The figures are available in four different sizes and in a wide range of colours, spreading lots of energy, good humour and joy.

There is guaranteed to be a Hoptimist for every occasion and for every person.
