Paolo Piva “Alanda” Rectangular Coffee Table, ca. 1980’s

About the Item

The “Alanda” Coffee Table was designed in the 1980’s by the Italian architect and designer Paolo Piva (1950-2017) for B & B Italia, an important Italian furniture manufacturer of the 20th century representing some of the best furniture designers of the period, including Gaetano Pesce, Mario Bellini, Zara Hadid and the legendary Ettore Sottsass among others. B & B Italia is regarded today as being synonomous with the ultimate in high-end Italian furniture design. Piva himself throughout his career as a designer has been associated with other design firms as well such as de Sede and Poliform besides B & B Italia. This particular version of the “Alanda” table is rectangular in form as opposed to the square version. It is made from black lacquered tubular steel in the form of a geodetic structure comprising of three upturned pyramidal-like units welded together to give us a coffee table of singular exceptional simplicity yet powerful aesthetic beauty and appeal. It has become the classic iconic piece of the 20th and 21st centuries and joins so many others in the pantheon of timeless and famous furniture designs. DIMENSIONS: Length: 47.25 in. (120 cm.)
