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 served as a constant reminder to stay positive and optimistic. For even though the 1960s are often referred to as "The Swinging Sixties," the decade was marked by unrest. Therefore, Ehrenreich's design was a welcome joy-spreader in an otherwise turbulent time.
Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists from the designer's hand: a girl in a dress with smiling eyes and an attentive boy with a parting on his head. Today, the cheerful Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and bring joy around the world.
