Most smiles begin with another smile. The Hoptimist in the soft version is the epitome of smiles, optimism, and good mood, spreading joy wherever it appears with its gentle, matte colors and round, harmonious expression. Height 10 cm, diameter 7.5 cm.

With a strong belief in the power of a smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created his cheerful Hoptimist movement in the late 1960s. The goal was to create a figure that would serve as an eternal reminder to stay positive and optimistic. Although the 60s are often referred to as "The Happy 60s," the decade was marked by unrest. Therefore, Ehrenreich's design was a welcome source of joy in an otherwise turbulent time. Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists from the designer's hand: a schoolgirl with smiling eyes and an attentive boy with a splint on his head. The cheerful Hoptimists are now a part of Danish design history and bring joy worldwide.
