Production Technology

This innovative product is presented in a fully functional display prototype using rapid prototyping technologies for the casing. Some parts were too large to manufacture in 1 piece, for those various bonding solutions were used to join the pieces before polishing. Each printed piece went through a careful polishing process to prepare the surfaces for professional painting to reach a high level appearance. The assembly was designed to make the bench fully servicable, while keeping the bolts hidden.

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge was to wrap a high-tech product into a classical shape lead by the strict form-language of grand pianos, while preserving and gently showcasing its high-tech origins. Piano benches are supportive objects to the piano, however they often do not claim this position. Designers of maform intended to change this by designing a piano bench that stands proudly next to the highest quality grand pianos, and that is a worthy pair of the piano with its subtle, elegant and functional design.

Project Duration

The project began in September 2022 and the current development phase finished in February 2023, the project was running in Budapest and Tatabanya, Hungary.

Operation Flow

Petervary Smart Piano Bench features an upper part which can slide sideways, allowing the pianist to better reach the keys on the far ends of the piano, while maintaining optimal body posture the entire time. This helps the pianist to play more accurate, be more comfortable while playing and to be able to practice for longer. The other main feature is the motorized height setup. The pianist can easily set the desired height manually by using the control panel, or a token to set it automatically. Smart functions of the bench are useful for professional and hobby musician, teachers and students too.

Research

For the project of the exterior product design, qualitative and disruptive research methods were used as well as case-studies. The objective was to better understand the product itself, the target groups and market, and to discover the most important criteria such as style, ergonomics, quality, materials and manufacturing requirements. Designers used maform's in-house challenge mapping method along with user tests (pianists, students, instructors, and maintenance), and case-studies of reference products.

Inspiration

The focus for the design was to find the right balance between high-tech and classical style. The Petervary Smart Piano Bench itself is a revolutionary, technical product, however designers had to ensure it fits into the style of classical music and looks neat next to a grand piano. Therefore, the greatest source of inspiration were the fine and functional details and form language of grand pianos. Designers aimed to create a subtle design for the bench, where the form elegantly serves the function.
