The piano « 1937 » : Special series in lacquer Red Naccarat -­‐ Replica of the original Pleyel piano of 1937 designed by the famous interior designer-­‐cabinet worker Jacques-­‐Emile Ruhlmann. Baby grand piano based on the P170 model of 1.70m. Jacques Emile Ruhlmann was the undisputed genius of 20th century decorative arts and naturally took an interest in pianos as part of his cabinetmaking work. Eager to revive tastes for French-­‐style furniture and interior decor, he created geometrical, trapezoidal and unadorned models to match the architecture and the furniture of various interiors. This replica pays the same attention to luxurious materials and refined technique: shapes which are full though never massive, slender lines, extremely pure contours, a vibrant red Naccarat piano lacquer all over the piano, a red Naccarat lacquer soundboard and frame with anembossed Pleyellogo and a nickel-­‐plated sculpted lyre. Made on special order for a renown interior design and decoration office in order to be placed on a residential house in Monaco, this contemporary version of the piano «1937» with its finish in a shiny red Nacarrat lacquer (8 layers) gives a modern twist to this timeless instrument. This piano is a symbol of perfect cabinetmaking, utilitarian understanding, remarkably balanced lines and exquisite refinement.
