Alex and behind him a red chair designed by him.

Alexander Åhnebrink runs his own design practice Aå in Milan, he is also Art Director at Rossia Magazine .

The blue ceramics are found and picked up from the street.

This is a book which I found very interesting. It is a set of 2D objects he has picked up from the street. The objects vary from used tickets and children's drawings to ripped-up photos and vinyl records. He started off by picking something up that interested him once in a while, but later it turned into a search to always expand the collection.

The photo is enlarged version of the photo from the id which he found on the street. So beautiful....

The books are placed according to their colors.

The postbags used decoratively or for the carriage:)

Once a location for the Faema coffee machine factory, Via Ventura has now turned in to a street full of art galleries, architectural and design studios and private loft apartments. He moved here about 5 years ago and although it is little bit far away from the center of Milan, he finds it hard imagining living somewhere else.

A sneek peek inside of the gallery in Via Ventura 3.

Last Friday was "Girl's Best Friend" night in the Dolce & Gabbana store at Via Spiga. The patrons were having their tarot cards read and make-ups done while enjoying some beats by DJ Natasha Slater. The ladies dressed up in Dolce&Gabbana leopards and laces were sipping Martini Golds as they were getting to know the Summer 2011 collection better. The store had transformed into a glamorous dream world that no girl would ever want to leave.
