Meet the charming giant of the Hoptimist family – the irresistible Giant Bumble, whose impressive size of 90 cm in height and 58 cm in diameter brings a big smile to everyone’s lips. Thanks to the practical wheels under the stable 60 x 12 cm platform, this large Hoptimist is easy to move wherever you want to spread joy and positivity. H: 90 cm, D: 58 cm
With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich founded his happy Hoptimist movement in the late 1960s. The aim was to create a figurine that would serve as a constant reminder to stay positive and optimistic. For although the 1960s are often referred to as the “Swinging Sixties”, the decade was marked by unrest. This made Ehrenreich’s design a welcome spreader of joy in an otherwise turbulent time.
Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists designed by Ehrenreich: A girl with smiling eyes wearing a dress and an alert, inquisitive boy with a tuft on his head. Today, the happy Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and they spark joy all over the world.
Gustav Ehrenreich
Before the Hoptimists saw the light of day, the Danish wood turner Hans Gustav Ehrenreich was tinkering in his workshop in the house on Århusvej in Stilling. It was the late 1950s, and in the small workshop "Ehrenreichs Trækunst" the imagination was great. Two things were never the same. Small silverfish were intarsia placed in hand-turned bowls and dishes, and unique crafts in woods from all over the world were sold from the workshop.
