Or maybe it ’s just that auto and pianos are inherently alike : They both have pedals , hood - ish mechanisms , make racket , and sit users at some manner of control jury . If that did n’t blow your brain , then , well , you in all likelihood translate art .
The Audi Design Team collaborated with piano shaper Bosendorfer to reconstruct this grand pianissimo , which was commissioned to celebrate Audi ’s centennial .
Here is their doctrine :
Generous surface areas ensure schematic clarity ; there are no decorative applications , the edge and lines are precipitously draw , the articulation logically positioned . All these are significant aspects of the Audi design .
And coincidently , none are important aspects of piano design . But that ’s not the point , I suppose . The piano — brushed aluminium pedals , hood - prop - esque stand , wraparound dead body and all — will be debut at the July 16th Audi Forum in Ingolstadt , Germany , and is ( probably symbolically ) price at around $ 140,000 . $ 140,000 .
