"Alanda" sofa by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia, 1990s

Italian work, 1990s. H 70 X W 220 X D 90 cm. Cognac leather and lacquered steel. Very good condition. Four black lacquered steel legs cross beneath a low unit; seat and back cushions in cognac leather, with backs that tilt independently to transition from sofa to bench. Paolo Piva, an architect trained in Venice, has been designing for B&B Italia since the 1970s. The Alanda is part of this collaboration, during a time when the publisher was seeking low seating with visible structures. Very good condition. The sofa retains its original black lacquered steel base and cognac leather.
