InsidherLand have been shortlisted for the Table Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Inspired by a Paul Klee’s drawing in which the Swiss painter and musician portrays the soul of a dead Pianist who, having lost his instrument, continues to play music using his own body, the Pianist coffee table doesn’t represent the piano but the hands of the artist, vehicle of technique and emotion. The brass blades design the shape of the four longest fingers that, on a white keyboard in Estremoz marble, release a melody hidden within the musical notes.

The Pianist center table is based on four essential pillars: concept, form, function and emotion. The concept carries a personal symbolism, as the author Joana Santos Barbosa, was herself a piano player. The form takes the human hands into a functional design that exhales an emotional story.

The design takes an original approach that brings symbolism and emotion into any space. Thought to be a central piece for living rooms, the Pianist coffee table can be customized in several noble materials to perfectly highlight a sense of luxury in high-end residential interiors around the World.

Being a minimal design, Pianist apparently defies the laws of physics, presenting a contradictory effect between the thin brass blades that pierce a heavy marble top. The constructive process of Pianist was a continuous challenge between the simplicity of the design and its stability. All process included a teamwork of skilled artisans. By minimising the presence of any unnecessary accessory, the maximum emotional impact was achieved.
