Hi,

I am contemplating buying a coffee table claimed to be designed by Paolo Piva, but I'm not sure if it is real or not. A picture is attached to this post.

I browsed through the other threads on the forum, and from what I can tell it is probably a fake. It clearly does not have the thick glass sitting on top, and does not have the reinforces "cross" section right under the glass. 

But I also read that this table was made in different versions, and some sites sell a very similar looking version for about 4000 USD. See this link for example: https://www.decaso.com/product/1656183/vintage-modern-paolo-piva-alanda-by-bb-italia-coffee-cocktail-table

What do you guys think?

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks like one of the knockoffs.  There's a lot of misleading info online from dealers about different versions being made by B&B Italia, but I was unable to find any reputable confirmation of this.  And there's not much info on who made the knockoffs.  I found one online that said it was made in the Netherlands but it didn't have any info on the maker.  If you like the style and it's priced like a replica (under $500), then go for it.
