Description
Alanda sofa by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia. A true design product, typical of the 90s.
Made of steel and covered in gray Alcantara, completely removable.
Armrests and headrest can be repositioned using a hinge mechanism with automatic locking in different positions and manual unlocking.
THE SOFA HAS AN ADDITIONAL COMPLETE COVER IN AVIO BLUE COTTON.
The Alcantara upholstery is in very good condition, it has no tears or breaks, the cotton upholstery is also perfect, without any defects
In the 1980 project with Alanda an explicit game of composition of the parts is implemented... the sofa appears like a complex organism in which each element declares its own function... then it is the collaboration with CR&S that leads to the invention which makes Alanda a truly new design object.
Not a simple sofa: a new patented mechanism ("hinge device with automatic locking in different positions and unlocking with normal control") which, applied to the steel profile structure, allows agile changes of the large headrest cushion from the horizontal position to vertical and vice versa.
The armrests also rotate around a pin, assuming different easily adjustable positions.
The inside of the padding is in cold-foamed polyurethane.
The Alanda sofa, one of Piva's best-known products, was one of B&B Italia's best sellers for a long time.
Paolo Piva, born in Adria, trained in Venice, where he is strongly influenced by the teachings of Tafuri, Carlo Aymonino and Carlo Scarpa. Piva inseparably fuses design theory and practice: not through utopian projects but with real and practical objects.
Founded in 1966, B&B Italia is a leading Italian company in the international design furniture sector.
It is located in Milan and boasts a prestigious headquarters designed in 1972 by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers.
Its products have contributed to writing the history of Italian design.
It is precisely from the alchemy between creativity, innovation and industrial capacity that modern furnishing elements emerge, highly distinctive and characterized by great quality and "timeless" elegance.
Divano Alanda di Paolo Piva per B&B Italia. Un vero prodotto di design, tipico degli anni '90.
Realizzato in Acciaio e rivestito in Alcantara colore Grigio, completamente sfoderabile.
Braccioli e poggiatesta sono riposizionabili mediante un meccanismo a cerniera con bloccaggio automatico su posizioni diverse e sbloccaggio a comando manuale.
IL DIVANO DISPONE DI UN ULTERIORE RIVESTIMENTO COMPLETO, IN COTONE COLOR BLU AVIO.
Il rivestimento in Alcantara è in buonissime condizioni, non presenta strappi ne rotture, anche il rivestimento in Cotone è perfetto, senza alcun difetto
Nel progetto del 1980 con Alanda viene messo in atto un esplicito gioco di composizione delle parti... il divano appare come un organismo articolato in cui ogni elemento dichiara la propria funzione... poi è la collaborazione con il CR&S a portare all’invenzione che fa di Alanda un vero nuovo oggetto di design.
Non un semplice divano: un nuovo meccanismo brevettato (“dispositivo a cerniera con bloccaggio automatico su posizioni diverse e sbloccaggio a comando normale”) che, applicato alla struttura in profilato d’acciaio, permette agili cambiamenti dell’ampio cuscino poggiatesta dalla posizione orizzontale a verticale e viceversa.
Anche i braccioli ruotano attorno a un perno, assumendo diverse posizioni facilmente regolabili.
L'interno dell’imbottitura è in poliuretano schiumato a freddo.
Il divano Alanda, uno dei prodotti più noti di Piva, per molto tempo è stato uno dei best seller B&B Italia.
Paolo Piva nato ad Adria si è formato a Venezia, dove è fortemente influenzato dagli insegnamenti di Tafuri, Carlo Aymonino e Carlo Scarpa. Piva fonde inscindibilmente teoria e pratica del design: non attraverso progetti utopici ma con oggetti reali e pratici.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
