Steinway Noé Limited Edition Launch in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo

Hundreds from around the world gathered in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo to witness a private concert from Steinway Artist Yuja Wang to launch The Steinway & Sons Noé Limited Edition, created in collaboration with the multidisciplinary French designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. The designer chose three radiant colors — white, red and blue — and added matching accent veneers to create stunning visual highlights: ivory white with Figured Sycamore Wood; midnight blue with Blue Stained Mahogany wood; and a deep burgundy red with red-stained Indian Apple wood. The cast iron plate, as well as the fittings, are crafted in a silver- or gold-colored finish, complimenting the color of each piano.

 

Ms. Wang performed a full three sets of encore pieces at each instrument and dazzled the crowd with her impeccable virtuosity in dresses designed to complement each instrument by Celine & Dior. The audience was further awed by a live demonstration of the Steinway & Sons Spirio | r, the world’s finest high resolution player piano — equipped into each and every Noé Limited Edition — each of which took turns playing on into the cocktail-and-hors-d’oeuvre hour that followed after the instruments’ reveal.

 

Guido Zimmermann, President Steinway & Sons Europe, noted: “Noé had a clear vision for Steinway & Sons — one that resonated on an emotional level, inspired by nature. It complemented the original design — modernizing and elegantly softening it. We are very proud of the finished instrument. Our craftswomen and men at the Hamburg Factory have done an exceptional job of marrying Noé’s creative artistry with our own time-honoured craft skills. Each Noé Limited Edition is a true work of art with our goal to further spread the joy of music.”

The Steinway & Sons Noé Limited Edition is available as a concert grand D-274, limited to just 18 pianos worldwide and the model B-211, limited to 88 pianos worldwide. Price on request.
