Vendor Info
HoptimistFirst produced in 1950's Denmark, Hoptimists are part of the great Danish design family today: From Kay Bojesen’s monkey to the PH lamp. In the late 1960s, wood turner Hans Gustav Ehrenreich created the first prototypes for Birdie, Bimble and Bumble.
Soon, Ehrenreich and his Hoptimists had become too well-known for production to continue in his small workshop. The rest of the story has become part of Danish design history.
What all the family members have in common is that their design lasts. The Hoptimist was relaunched in 2009 and today the figures are hopping around again in Denmark and in the rest of the world. Newly developed designs are done in the spirit of Ehrenreich. His basic idea was to draw the Hoptimists using a circle and an ellipse, and the classic and the new generation of figures are based on this idea.
