The exhibition Accidentally Wes Anderson, an immersive art exhibit, showcases the legendary style of iconic photographer and filmmaker Wes Anderson. To create unforgettable souvenirs that visitors would cherish for a lifetime, AWA needed a partner who could deeply understand Wes Anderson's essence.
Ateliers AME, as a high-quality producer of bespoke gifts, aligned with the values of the exhibition. With many overlapping characteristics in visual style and execution, this collaboration was made to be. With a knack for meticulous, curated aesthetics, Ateliers AME created a product collection that represents the quintessential Wes Anderson’s style.
The AWA Exhibition
This worldwide traveling exhibition features a total of 10 themed rooms, covering 200 places on Earth in the style of Wes Anderson. Last year, the “Wes Anderson” style of creating imagery and films became a trend online, gaining millions of views across social media. What makes a perfectly Wes Anderson visual experience? Some say it’s the pastels, and others say symmetry or simply a feeling of “whimsy.” Each exhibition room at AWA reflects a distinct theme based on the work of the iconic artist, attracting art and film enthusiasts from around the world.
His quirky, nostalgic, and visually striking style has made him a global icon. As a filmmaker, Anderson is known for the narrative depth of his plots. His visual style is distinguished by symmetry, intricately composed scenes, and a consistent color scheme that ties all of the elements together.
