About the Item

The Alanda coffee table, an iconic piece that ushered in the 1980s, is reissued as a tribute to Paolo Piva, the great architect and designer. A highly successful classic and one of the most popular vintage furnishing accessories on the market, Alanda is one of the most representative design objects of an era full of strong and audacious stylistic signs, very often in dialogue with architecture, of which the design replicated virtuosity in miniature. And the Alanda grid, at the same time pedestal and support for the top, recalls precisely a group of inverted pyramids, a geodesic structure that has always characterized it as if it were a magical object, a catalyst for positive energy. Paolo Piva was born in Adria on March 13, 1950 and passed away on July 7, 2017, a famous Italian architect and designer known throughout the world for his creations in the field of furniture. In Italy he collaborates with major design companies including B & B Italia. from this collaboration will be born the iconic table with an inverted pyramid structure Alanda. B&B Italia S.p.A. is an Italian company founded in 1966 in Novedrate, a manufacturer of furniture, furnishings and other objects for the home. The B&B Italia furniture company was born in 1966, with the name C&B Italia, from the meeting of Cesare Cassina and Piero Ambrogio Busnelli; the latter in 1973 will also buy the shares of Cassina building what at the time was considered the most automated furniture factory in the world, as well as a sophisticated research and development laboratory. The intent to combine design and technology is clear from the architecture of the B&B Italia headquarters in Novedrate (Como): a modern headquarters designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers in 1972.
