made of steel and upholstered in grey color alcantara, with completely removable covers.
armrests and headrest are repositionable by means of a hinge mechanism with automatic locking to different positions and manual release.

the sofa has an additional full cover, made of air force blue-colored cotton.

the alcantara upholstery is in very good condition, with no rips or tears; the cotton upholstery is also perfect, without any defects

in the 1980 project with alanda, an explicit play on the composition of the parts is enacted\.the sofa appears as an articulated organism in which each element declares its own function\.then it is the collaboration with cr&s that leads to the invention that makes alanda a true new design object.
not just a sofa: a new patented mechanism ("hinged device with automatic locking to different positions and unlocking at normal command") that, applied to the steel profile frame, allows agile changes of the wide headrest cushion from horizontal to vertical position and vice versa.
the armrests also rotate around a pivot, taking several easily adjustable positions.
the upholstery interior is made of cold-foamed polyurethane.

the alanda sofa, one of piva's best-known products, has long been a b&b italia best seller. Sold with a custom-made replacement cover in washable blue cotton.
