The Alanda coffee table, attributed to Paolo Piva, exemplifies Italian postmodernism from the 1980s, where architectural precision meets sculptural expression. Its matte black metal frame is constructed from slender rods arranged in a dynamic configuration of triangles and rhombuses—a minimalist yet bold gesture characteristic of Piva’s work. The glass top, with its subtly green-tinted edges, accentuates the spatial structure of the base, reflecting light and creating a dialogue between glossy and matte surfaces. The low, wide proportions reinforce its modernist roots, while the clean, precise joints in the metalwork highlight the craftsmanship. The table is in very good condition—no dents or deformations in the metal, the glass top is intact with use-related surface scratches appropriate to its age; no signs of restoration or replacement parts.This form echoes the voice of a decade that reconciled rationality with experimentation: 1980s Italy embraced a dialogue between geometry and emotion, and the Alanda table—like an architect's sketch translated into furniture—tells of a fascination with structure, lightness, and movement. The metal grid appears to lift the glass top like a bridge, inviting light to play in shadows and reflections. It is a piece that does not dominate a space but subtly suggests that interiors can be dynamic, open to change, and playful with perspective.The Alanda coffee table would work well in modernist, postmodern
