Bobo the clown spreads smiles and optimism wherever it is. Give him a gentle nudge and watch him laugh – you probably can't help but smile. The cute and fun Hoptimist fits especially well into the children's room, where it can be part of the play. H 8.5 cm, D 5 cm With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich in the late 1960s created his happy Hoptimist movement. The goal was to create a character that was an eternal reminder to stay positive and optimistic. For although the 1960s are often referred to as "The Happy '60s," the decade was marked by unrest. Therefore, Ehrenreich's design was a welcome joy spreader in an otherwise turbulent time.
