When the snow begins to fall, the joy of childhood is reawakened by snowball fights and snowmen. With its orange nose and branch arms, the Soft Santa Snowman is just as cute as the snowmen you can make out of real snow. With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich founded his happy Hoptimist movement in the late 1960s. The aim was to create a figurine that would serve as a constant reminder to stay positive and optimistic. For although the 1960s are often referred to as theSwinging Sixties, the decade was marked by unrest. This made Ehrenreichs design a welcome spreader of joy in an otherwise turbulent time. Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists designed by Ehrenreich: A girl with smiling eyes wearing a dress and an alert, inquisitive boy with a tuft on his head. Today, the happy Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and they spark joy all over the world. Brand:Hoptimist. Colour:White. Design:Soft Santa Snowman. Product:Hoptimist. Designer
