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.

Proprio dall’alchimia tra creatività, innovazione e capacità industriale emergono elementi d’arredo moderni, fortemente distintivi e caratterizzati da grande qualità ed eleganza “senza tempo”.

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation 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.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

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