A Tribute to Architectural Splendour
In the heart of Paris, the Philharmonie de Paris is a stunning building. Designed by Jean Nouvel, it has a bird mosaic on the roof, like the works of M.C. Escher.
It is within this architectural marvel that Steinway found inspiration for their latest creation, a grand piano that echoes the elegance and innovation of the Philharmonie itself.
Crafted with precision, the Philharmonie de Paris Limited Edition Grand Piano honours its muse through design. The surface of the piano has a beautiful interpretation of the bird mosaic of the Philharmonie. Each stroke of silver leaf is applied by hand and captures the beauty of the mosaic.

From the music desk inspired by the façade of the Philharmonie to the specially designed legs, lyre and prop stick, nothing has been left out. Each component is a work of art and function, like the building itself.
In building this masterpiece, Steinway’s craftsmen didn’t spare any detail to make it look good and strong. The ebony-stained inner rim and dark silver cast iron plate are the base of the beautiful design.
Metal fittings and double studio castors in chrome finish add to its beauty. It’s a work of art and engineering, proof of Steinway’s perfectionism.
