Sauter Maly – Accento

The goal was to find an archetypal form for a noble piano. The result: an instrument whose clean contour is evocative of the reduced form of a bridge.

The employed materials present a harmonious contrast: a glossy coating for the front surface, accented by wood on the outer frame. The form gains depth through the recessed front.

It was created through the close cooperation of the designer and the highly qualified Sauter piano makers. Cubist, accented: this is Accento.

Finishes​: The photos show the variety of Accento designs available – ranging from classic tone-on-tone combinations to captivating black-and-white contrasts.
