Hoptimist Large Oak Bumble, 1969

Large Oak Bumble by Hans Gustav Ehrenreich for Hoptimist.

The cheery Hoptimists stand for happiness, hope and classic design.

Gustav Ehrenreich initially conceived the joyful figures in the late 1960s. A skilled wood turner, Ehrenreich wanted to create objects that spread joy, and thus two iconic characters were produced; Bimble and Bumble.

Crafted from solid oak, the Large Oak Bumble boasts a round body separated by a spring, giving it a jubilant bounce when moved. With its big nose and large eyes, the charming figure makes for the perfect gift and jubilant decoration for the home.
