Pianista 2 - Pendant

The Pianista 2 pendant is handmade using recycled wood from an old piano. I only source unplayable pianos that are otherwise destined for landfill, dismantle and reuse the fabulous timbers.

The dark elements are ebony wood salvaged from the black keys, and lighter elements are spruce from the white keys and piano mechanisms.

The amazingly dark rich grain of the rare ebony timber is showcased entirely in its natural colour, not tinted in any way. The dark elements are offset by the lighter warm tones and striking tight grain of the spruce.

Similar to my Northcote pendant designs, these are precisely designed so the weight is balanced and they hang level and straight. The volume of timber is identical on the left and right side, just contained in different shapes.

Materials:
Recycled ebony (Diospyros species) from piano black keys
Recycled spruce (Picea species) from piano white keys and mechanisms.
Surgical grade stainless steel
