The Piano was recently launched as the part of number of original projected designed by Peugeot Design Lab. Amongst all of those the most distinctive one is a Grand Piano concept developed in partnership with French piano manufacturer Pleyel.
The grand Piano is result of a unique collaboration of French fine art and design, Peugeot Design Lab along with Pleyel as both have created a unique piano that not only looks futuristic but also combines some extraordinary features to make this a one-of-a-kind piano. With a body and soundboard crafted from the wood, the piano features a single gravity-defying cantilevered carbon fiber leg that makes the piano look nothing like what you would expect from one.
The lid of the piano can be opened up just with one hand and a lowered mechanism on the piano lets you see across enabling the player to closely hear what he is playing and for the audience to see the player’s fingers.The piano costs a little more than $210,000.
