Welcome to the cosy little vintage world for little ones and the young-at-heart.
Mister O´Lui & Rupert
Hello, I´m Silke.
Originally, I designed Mister O'Lui, the chubby-cheeked beaver bear, for my twin boys; now he is the mascot of my label of the same name, into which I´m able to pour my heart and soul every day.
The nostalgic world of Mister O'Lui is neither garish or loud; rather it thrives on warm colours, simple design and good values . A little world, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Grab a warm hot chocolate or a delicious cup of coffee and immerse yourselves in our little world...

Mister O'Lui
and his friends to cuddle and go
In Mister O'Luis Adventures - as in the entire O'Lui world - it was important to me to create a cosy and peaceful setting. So I designed the illustrations to be simple and in warm colours, so as not to overwhelm children but instead to spark their imagination. This ensures that the values and messages of the story aims to convey take centre stage and are better able to encourage reflection.
I can only create MIster O´Lui´s little world - and therefore his stories too - in such an authentic way if I live it myself. That´s wy my favorite city, NewYork City has also found its way into the story; in its Central Parc, Mister O'Lui und Rupert live in a little wooden cottage. What fascinates me most here is the contrast between the natural sourroundings of Central Parc and the exciting, never sleeping metropolis. So where better for a beaver bear to live in the wild and have exciting adventures right on his doorstep :)
I hope all bookworms - young and old - have fun reading.

World of crochet
Mister O'Lui really has its roots in crochet, specifically "amigurumi", a Japanese crochet art to create cute, three-dimensional figures. During my twin pregnancy, I had to spend a lot of time lying down early on, so I taught myself amiguri crochet on the sofa with the help of videos. Once the twins arrived and had got through a not-entirely-easy start in life, I wanted to crochet them a bear - a best friends for life, who would always be by their side. I sketched out what I wanted him to look and set about crocheting. But with my crocheting skills not quite up to scratch yet, the bear ended up with chubby cheeks instead of a round face, and the beaver bear was born. And as the Mister O´Lui gradually stole the hearts of friends and the Instagram community, the first crochet pattern followed... and little by little, the little O´Lui world grew into what it is today.
