The Alanda coffee table, designed by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia in 1980, is an icon of modern design. Its structure, composed of metal rods that form a network of inverted pyramids, supports a glass top, creating a light and sculptural visual effect. In 2018, B&B Italia reissued this piece as a tribute to its creator, keeping intact the original design that continues to represent a symbol of elegance and innovation in the panorama of contemporary furniture.
B&B Italia
Founded in 1966, B&B Italia is an Italian company that is a leader in the international design furniture sector, both domestic and collective. Its headquarters are located north of Milan and boasts a prestigious building designed in 1972 by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Its furniture, sofas, armchairs and even outdoor products have contributed to writing the history of Italian design, spreading the “Made in Italy” on international markets. It is precisely from the alchemy between creativity, innovation and industrial capacity that modern furnishing elements emerge, highly distinctive and characterised by great quality and “timeless” elegance.
Paolo Piva
An iconic Italian architect and designer renowned for his innovative furniture designs, he was born in Adria in 1950. In 1968 he began his studies and graduated in architecture from the University Institute of Architecture of Venice, earning recognition for his work in both architecture and industrial design during his postgraduate studies at the "Corso Superiore di Restauro" in Rome.
