With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich created his happy Hoptimist movement in the late 1960s. The goal was to create a figure that was an eternal reminder to stay positive and optimistic. Because even though the 1960s 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 turbulent time.

Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists from the designer's hand: a dress-clad girl with smiling eyes and an attentive boy with a split head. Today, the happy Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and create joy all over the world.
