Hoptimist Buffalo S Oak - Porcelain figurines & sculptures

Buffalo is the strong buffalo with a nose for resilience. He's a true herd animal, thriving best in company – preferably in the middle of the herd on the shelf, the desk, or right where the mood needs a lift. Buffalo stands firm, even when the world rocks – but he'll happily jump when you give him a gentle push on the top. The product is made from ™- oak ( -C166612). H 7 cm, D 8.5 cm. The Big Five You don't need to go to Africa to meet The Big Five – with Hoptimist, you can get up close. So close, in fact, that you can give them a gentle push and watch them jump with joy. Because at Hoptimist, The Big Five aren't after prey, but a smile and good cheer. Here, you meet a strong buffalo, a cute rhinoceros, a spotted leopard, a listening elephant, and a majestic lion. They're wild, but in a sweet way – and make everyday life a bit more fun. 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 the “Swinging Sixties”, the decade was marked by unrest. This made Ehrenreich’s 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. The figurines are available in four different sizes and in a wide range of colours that spread plenty of playfulness, cheer and happiness. There is a Hoptimist for every occasion and every person.​
