Bumble is a little bird-shaped figure that will cheer up even the greyest days. if your home is in need of a touch of colour or of a happy accent, Bumble is right the thing for you. Before the Hoptimists saw the light of day, the Danish wood turner Hans Gustav Ehrenreich tinkered in his workshop at his house on Århusvej in Stilling. It was the late 1950s, and in Ehrenreich’s small workshop, there was no shortage of imagination. No two things were ever alike. Small silver fish were inlaid in hand-turned bowls and dishes, and one-off pieces of utility art in wood types from all around the world were sold from the workshop. He designed the first Hoptimists using a spring system - and an icon was born! The success of these cute little figures was immediate and huge. The sphere shape of the Hoptimists is unmistakable and has won them the favour of the entire world over the decades. There are many members of the Hoptimist family you can choose from - Bumble goes arm in arm with Bimble. Then you have their miniature versions - Baby Bimble and Baby Bumble. The family is completed by Smiley and by the romantic mini couple formed by Bride and Groom. There is no way anyone can resist the cute, lovely, happy charm of the Hoptimists! They only want a smile and a gentle tap, and in exchange they will cheer up your days filling them with endless happiness, joy and colours. In fact, each Hoptimist comes in a huge multitude of colour options, as wide as the rainbow itself. Choose the shade you like the most between purple, violet, light blue, dark grey, turquoise, pink and many more. The whole Hoptimist collection is on sale online at LOVEThESIGN. Discover it now!

Hans Gustav Ehrenreich trained as a cabinetmaker. In 1950 he opened his own workshop Ehrenreichs Traekunst and in 1968 he designed his first famous spring figure - the Birdie, in 1969 followed by Bimble Bumble and in 1971 by Kvak - the Frog. The figures were a huge success in the 1970s. Since 2009, Lotte and Bo Steffenson have started production of the popular classic again. They were immediately a success.
The Hoptimists do something quite special. They bring smiles to people's faces, joy and optimism. All they want is a smile, perhaps a slight tap to get the figure moving. The Hoptimist repays you by bouncing up and down, powered by surplus energy. Just as you knew it would – just as it does every time.
