Dubai Edition – In White

A white grand piano from the Steinway Dubai Edition, with its lacquer carried out by Danny Schramm. The surface is held back deliberately: a clean, multi-layered white that lets the Steinway’s own line stand and that picks up the light of the room across the case.

For a time the self-playing instrument was on display at the Dubai Mall, openly accessible to its visitors. It became a focal point in the flow of the public – a grand piano that brings itself to performance without a visible pianist. We were invited on site for the edition’s premiere.
