Atelier Perelà is a project of Alessandro Maggioni. I’m happy to hear from you, and see how can we create something precious together.
Paper, Scissors, Stories
Atelier Perelà creates artwork for museums, stage and architecture. We combine art, design and storytelling to create thrilling and charming worlds of adventure for both children and adults.
Sinneswandel
A 700 square meter big part of the Helen Keller school in Charlottenburg was given to the Sinneswandel GmbH to bring to life their vision of an integration kindergarten. The challenge was to create an orientation system for the building that is fun and appropriate for children and to create rooms that invite to explore, recreate and at the same time offer places of retreat and safety.
A tree as the symbol for growth and development was the root idea of the design concept. The three floors stand for root, trunk and crown of a tree. For each floor Baukind developed together with the Atelier Perelà an original color concept and animal characters that correspond to and live around root, trunk and crown of a tree. The animals accompany the kids from the entrance door to their groups that are named after these animals: fox group, rabbit group, etc.
Babykonzert
What happens when a clarinet, and accordion and a bunch of objects meet together? A charming musical journey for babies and their families on the red carpet of the Tischlerei - Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Gideon’s Tale
Gideon's Tale is a tender love story about curiosity, diversity and the courage of self acceptance. A journey into a world of white cutout paper, animated with stopmotion and live-action technique.

Augmented Stage
How can a real puppet interact with digital sensor, reaching new dimensions and meanings for the puppeteering world? This was the core of BadaboomBerlin research in the summer art Residency at Schaubude Berlin, with the title "Digital ist besser?" During that research we saw the birth of a new, curious character: Ludwig.
Spiel Mit Mir
1 awarded project, 3 museums, 9 interactive characters, 97 animated exhibits.
The "Grassi für Kinder" competition was the chance to play with the archive of the Museum of Applied Arts, Music Instruments and Ethnography. Together with Daniel Huber and Raumsektor we created a permanent, interactive installation that lets the Grassimuseum visitors enjoy its collection in a contemporary and playful way.
Chubby Fingers
In collaboration with ATÖLYE Istanbul, Atelier Perelà took part to the development of a concept for a new tablet's Kids’ Mode.
Safety, care for design and quality of the user experience were the driving forces behind the project. Through workshops in schools we tested and shared prototypes with kids, developing a group of friendly mascots acting as a guide through the whole tablet experience. We worked with a team of 6 illustrators, depicting diverse topics to address different ages and mood.
Stop-motion Workshop
Would you like to transform every object around you in a character? Do you want to learn how to give life to a paper-cut, a piece of modeling clay a lego construction? You already tried on your own but the result is bulky flickering animation?
In the workshop you learn the basics of animation, how creatively work with materials, and how tips, tricks and best practices to save time and focus on creating amazing stories.
