Coffee table inspired by one of the most iconic pieces of furniture of the eighties. In this version, the tubular steel builds a base of minimalist design formed by triangular lines, using the same solution as Paolo Piva but extending the four legs of the first Alanda table to six. In the model shown here, the visual purification is extreme with the disappearance of the horizontal slats that in Piva's table interrupt the transparency of the glass.

Designed by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia, Alanda was one of the most representative design objects of an era full of strong and bold stylistic signs, very often in dialogue with architecture, whose virtuosity was replicated in miniature.
