All about smiles
Give a Hoptimist and experience the joy of giving. Gustav Ehrenreich created the happy movement in the late 1960s, which has gone on to earn itself a place in Danish design history.
Today, there is a happy Hoptimist for every occasion. So, wherever it finds itself, a Hoptimist is guaranteed to spread joy. That’s the whole idea behind the Hoptimists: To spread joy and bring a smile to everyone’s face.

We are extremely proud that the Hoptimists are part of the great Danish design family today: From Kay Bojesen’s monkey to the PH lamp.
What all the family members have in common is that their design lasts. We relaunched the Hoptimist in 2009, and today the figures are hopping around again in Denmark and in the rest of the world.
When we further develop the design, we do so 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.
