Hoptimist Bimble figure

Bumble and Bimble figure. These cute creatures belong to the species of "hoptimists". The universe of the small wooden figures with funny feather bobble heads was originally conceived in 1968 by the Danish cabinetmaker Hans Gustav Ehrenreich, but the production of these figures was stopped after only about five years. In 2009, Lotte Steffensen reactivated the reissue in the spirit of Ehrenreich with a brand named Hoptimist, which she created especially for this purpose: Her round, friendly face shapes should make us smile, her jumping should serve as a motivational aid and thus make the day a little sunnier. Part of the concept is also that each hoptimist is assembled in a workshop for handicapped people despite their different sizes and materials: "First we glue felt under the feet, then we attach the spring to the bottom part, and when the head gets on it and we let go of it - then they come to life."Bimble figure. With eyes closed with laughter and a knobbly nose, the rocking journeyman made of colorful plastic asks us to lay our hands in front of our stomachs and laugh heartily while rocking.
