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.
