The Athos ‘12 rectangular table comes in two lengths, in both a fixed and an extensible version, the latter being characterised by an invisible mechanism that allows it to be lengthened so as to accommodate up to twelve people.

The Alanda coffee table, an iconic piece that ushered in the 1980s, is now revisited in homage to Paolo Piva, the great architect and designer. A highly successful classic and sought-after vintage furnishing complements, Alanda is one of the most typical design objects of a period with a wealth of strong, daring stylistic signs, often in a dialogue with architecture, reproducing its most attractive, characteristic elements in miniature. The Alanda’s structure, serving as both pedestal and support, recalls a group of upturned pyramids, a geodetic frame that has always characterized it as if it was a magical object, entrapping and amplifying cosmic energy. Alanda ‘18 is offered in two sizes with structure in painted steel rod and glass top.
Paolo Piva, famous Italian architect and designer known all over the world for his creations in the field of furniture, was born in Adria in 1950. He graduated in architecture at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice and, during his post-graduate studies at the "Superior Restoration Course" in Rome, he began to establish himself in the field of architecture and industrial design. He participated in solo and group exhibitions. In 1975 he collaborated with the Institute of History and Architecture in Venice and with the Akademie für Angewandten Kunst in Vienna on the creation of a major exhibition on Vienna in the socialist period. In the 1980s he designed the Kuwait embassy in Qatar and devoted himself to various architectural projects, as well as setting up.
