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. For 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 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 split pin on his head. The cheerful Hoptimists are now a part of Danish design history and spread joy worldwide.
