Ramona began with a single design principle. Monochrome.
Fascinated by the idea of total colour drenching, we wanted to remove the contrast in detailing and hardware and let the sculptural form of the piano speak. By reducing the visual noise, form and colour became the focus.
Pantone Mocha Mousse runs across the casework, hardware and detailing, allowing the familiar upright form to read as a single, continuous object.
Alongside, a mismatched vintage piano stool creates an interesting tension, disrupting the contemporary composition with a more traditional silhouette. A continuation of the Mocha Mousse finish keeps it in check. The tonal checkerboard velvet upholstery adds softness, texture and geometry.
The exception: the keyboard. A standard black and white keyboard didn’t belong. The contrast was too stark, the idea too generic for this composition.
A continuation of the monochromatic scheme, however, was too flat. It needed a lift, a subtle break from the ordinary. The result was a custom palette: flats in Stone, sharps in Nut Brown. A little tension.
A little harmony. A lot of balance.
We named her Ramona, for no other reason than it seemed to fit. Sometimes a piano develops a personality of its own. We’re here for that.
Life, composed.
