Paolo Piva for B&B Italia — “Alanda” Coffee Table, Italy, 1980s

Designed by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia in the early 1980s, the iconic Alanda coffee table stands as a hallmark of postmodern design. Its sculptural base—an intricate network of geometric black metal rods—forms a striking, faceted pyramid structure that evokes architectural tension and lightness.

The square tabletop is composed of four beveled glass panes that rest within the linear steel frame, creating a dynamic interplay between transparency and structure. Both elegant and industrial, the design appears to float, balancing visual weight with airiness.

Highly collectible and instantly recognizable, the Alanda table is a celebrated piece in modern design history—ideal for contemporary, minimalist, or eclectic interiors seeking a bold centerpiece with architectural integrity.
