When Christmas approaches, Bumble dons his finest red suit and white beard to bring a little warmth to the home. This little laughing fellow is one of the very first characters drawn by Gustav Ehrenreich, the Danish designer behind the Hoptimist movement, which was born in the late 1960s. His philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: one smile always leads to another. For over fifty years, his figurines—which have become icons of Scandinavian design—have celebrated the good humor of everyday life, and this Christmas edition extends that with humor and tenderness, alongside reindeer, elves, and snowmen.
Faithful to the brand's spirit, this Santa Claus was born from the circle and the ellipse, the basic shapes dear to Ehrenreich, which give his volumes a soft and benevolent roundness. His bright red color immediately evokes the magic of the holidays and the joyful impatience of childhood. A steel spring hidden under the head makes him bob back and forth at the slightest touch: a mischievous little movement that is as amusing as it is soothing.
Desk, shelf, coffee table, sideboard, console, or holiday table: Bumble fits wherever you want a touch of good humor. He suits a Scandinavian or contemporary interior just as well as a more traditional Christmas, and happily pairs with his companions, the Bumble Reindeer or the Snowman, to compose a little winter scene. He also makes an original and charming gift to thank your hosts, fill an Advent calendar, or bring a smile to young and old alike.
