	We have received a new report supported by GARDE! Al Bocconcino, named after the Italian word for ¡Èbite-sized,¡É is a newly opened Italian restaurant on Berlin¡Æs main boulevard, Kurfürstendamm. Facing the busy street, the small entrance leads into a world of dark green and pink. The geometric black-and-white tiled floor is particularly striking, while paintings by young Ukrainian artists adorn the walls.¡¡Studio Alchimia is an avant-garde design collective founded in Milan in 1976 by Alessandro Guerriero, Bruno Gregori, and others. With a name reminiscent of medieval alchemists, the group sought to create beauty from deliberately inexpensive materials. Departing from the functional, mass-producible designs that had dominated since the Bauhaus era, they embraced garish colors and artificial materials, presenting a provocative and distinctive vision of beauty.
