Noé Limited EditionExpressive, modern, elegant
The limited edition by Steinway & Sons captivates with graceful lines and an extraordinary color design.
The edition was created in collaboration with French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, who has conceived numerous iconic designs for renowned companies in the fields of furniture and interior architecture. Internationally celebrated projects underscore his focus on materials and his love of organic forms — and so the design of the Noé Limited Edition is likewise inspired by the beauty of nature and serves as a homage to light and sound.
You design a grand piano for Steinway only once in a lifetime.
Handcrafted at the Steinway factory in Hamburg, these grand pianos embody a perfect fusion of aesthetics and craftsmanship through their flowing lines and elegant, dynamic silhouette. Particularly striking is the extraordinary, fluidly curved form of the case. The understated, rounded grand piano legs harmonize perfectly with this gentle sweep and, together with the distinctive metal lyre, accentuate the beauty of this edition.
Three Color ConceptsIn Harmony with the Design
Midnight Blue
Subtly lustrous midnight blue pairs perfectly with understated, blue-stained mahogany and lends the instrument a warm radiance. This look is further enhanced by the unobtrusive silver-toned plate, while the chrome lyre and fittings create captivating lighting effects.
Deep Burgundy
Deep burgundy and the powerful, red-stained veneer of the Indian apple tree form a charismatic unity, radiating warmth and elegance. The cast iron plate gleams in a refined gold tone, which is echoed in a matte brushed finish on the lyre and the hardware.
Cream White
Elegant cream white is combined with exquisite figured maple. The luminous wood echoes the sweeping contour of the grand piano, creating a refined and understated appearance. The subtle sheen of the silver-toned cast iron plate forms a striking contrast to the lyre and hardware, which are crafted in chrome.
And so a sculpture was born. A sculpture of movement, light, and sound.
