Kelly Wearstler Collaborates With Edelweiss Pianos

For years, Edelweiss pianos quietly inhabited Kelly Wearstler’s interiors—bespoke instruments designed for her interior projects. They were never simply musical accompaniments to the room; they carried presence, anchoring spaces with both visual gravity and acoustic resonance. With every collaboration, the dialogue between designer and atelier deepened until a natural question emerged: what would happen if the instrument itself became the canvas?

The result is Timbra, Kelly Wearstler’s first-ever piano, created in collaboration with Edelweiss, the renowned British atelier celebrated for its bespoke craftsmanship. At the center of the design is Edelweiss’ compact round piano, a contemporary reimagining of the traditional grand. Its circular footprint offered Wearstler a new canvas, opening the possibility to rethink the piano not only as an instrument, but as sculpture.

Handcrafted from natural layers of birchwood veneer, Timbra reveals sweeping, wave-like contours across its surface. Inspired by the fluid movement of sound waves, the sculpted form gives the piano a sense of motion even in stillness. This interplay between form, sound, and material reflects Wearstler’s belief that interiors should engage more than just the eye. Music has the power to shift the emotional atmosphere of a room, and a piano becomes more than an instrument — it becomes a catalyst for experience.

Beneath the sculptural form lies the acoustic precision Edelweiss is known for. The piano’s architecture remains true to the traditions of fine piano making. Working from detailed CAD models, Wearstler developed the exterior around the instrument’s internal structure, ensuring the design enhanced rather than compromised its performance.

Each Timbra piano is handcrafted by Edelweiss’ elite team in the UK, where advanced technology meets meticulous craftsmanship. Layers of veneer are sculpted, finished, and refined until the piece achieves its final form. Designed for intimate environments — from private residences and yachts to refined hospitality spaces — the piano delivers a balanced, atmospheric sound that enhances a room without overwhelming it. In this way, Timbra moves seamlessly between disciplines: at once instrument and sculpture, design object and musical presence.
