The Hoptimist brand is a piece of design history from Denmark. In the 1960s, Danish craftsman Hans Gustav Ehrenreich created the prototypes for the now world-famous “Hoptimist”. Hand-turned pieces were the trademark of this creative artist, who made unique everyday items in his workshop and ultimately created the ingenious design of the original Hoptimist. This design quickly became a huge success and formed the basis for the Hoptimist brand, which puts a smile on people’s faces around the world and has not lost any of its fascination, even after more than 50 years.
From the Birdies to a world-famous designer brand
In 1968, Ehrenreich designed the famous birdies. Later, the famous Hoptimist Bumble and his equally successful brother, the Hoptimist Bimble, arrived. A worldwide success that is truly unique in the history of modern design. The cheerful nodding figures can be found in private rooms and offices alike.
