Decorative figurine Coccinelle

In summer, it adds colour to the lawn. Its red shell with black spots provokes a childlike enthusiasm in each of us. The ladybird is a good omen, just like our Hoptimist ladybird.

Animals evoke something special in each of us. A joy that we share with one another. That’s why the big family of happy Hoptimists also includes adorable animals. Firmly convinced of the power of a smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created the cheerful Hoptimist movement in the late 60s. The goal was to design a figurine that would constantly remind us of the importance of staying positive and optimistic. For while the 60s are often referred to as "the happy 60s," this decade was marked by disturbing events. That’s why the joy spread by Ehrenreich's design was welcome during a rather turbulent time.
