This Alanda-style coffee table is a striking conversation piece from the 1980s. The design is in the style of Paolo Piva for B&B Italia, rather than an IKEA product. Its smoked glass top and graphic frame give the table a strong architectural presence.
The Alanda Paolo Piva style table works well in a living room, lounge or office. The square format creates a generous surface for books, drinks and decorative objects. At the same time, the smoked glass keeps the visual weight relatively light.
Alanda Paolo Piva style table from the 1980s
Paolo Piva’s Alanda design is known for its expressive geometric structure. This table captures that bold 1980s language with a clear, sculptural base and a dark translucent surface. It suits interiors that combine Italian design, postmodern furniture and strong architectural details.
The table is in used vintage condition. The smoked glass has minor signs of use but remains in great condition considering its age. It has no chips. The frame is also in fine condition. Please study the photographs carefully for the exact appearance.
Style the table with low seating and a restrained collection of objects. The smoked glass pairs especially well with chrome, black metal, leather and warm wood. Because the design is uncommon, it can anchor a room without overwhelming the rest of the interior.
