Via Alley http://www.viaalley.com Via Alley is the result of an admiration for artists/designers who are proud of who they are, passionate about what they do, who are talented and are willing to give it their all to fulfil a dream. We import things we like from other parts of the world, and in most cases, inaccessible in Australia.

We hosted a club at the top of the building, and initiated the influx of a collective, consisting of more than 200 young creative minds, many of whom we still work closely with today. This environment didn’t just shape some of the biggest and most influential Danish artists, musicians and designers. It also shaped AIAIAI’s collective vision, which still hasn’t changed: We aim to create headphones and other consumer electronic related products that have a clear connection to the creative world, and thus make a heartfelt, different and genuine statement.
