Piano – new interpretation
Description

The use of sustainable oak wood gives the electric piano an elegant and harmonious look that will fit into any living environmentWhat is the Topic?
Optically, the electronic piano has hardly changed since the first market launch, a black box with legs and a lot of unused cavity, which strongly reminds of a mechanical piano. It doesn’t matter where the electric piano is in the room, it is an unwanted, black foreign object in the modern living environment.The reinterpretation of the electric piano "Piano" was created as part of my bachelor thesis.The aim was to create a unique identity and formal language for the electric piano and to detach it stylistically from the mechanical piano."Piano" adapts to modern lifestyles and interior trends and blends harmoniously.
