Audi Plays Different Tune with Auto-Inspired Piano

Cars and pianos are more similar than we would initially think: they both have pedals, hood-ish mechanisms, they make noise, and someone has to control them. Perhaps these are some of the reasons that urged the Audi Design Team to collaborate with piano maker Bosendorfer to construct this grand piano, commissioned to celebrate Audi’s centennial:

Here is their philosophy:

Generous surface areas ensure formal clarity; there are no decorative applications, the edges and lines are sharply drawn, the joints logically positioned. All these are important aspects of the Audi design.

And coincidentally, none are important aspects of piano design. The piano-brushed aluminum pedals, hood-like stand, wraparound body and all will be debuted at the July 16th Audi Forum in Ingolstadt, Germany, and is priced at around $140,000 (about R1.2m).

Suit Up! Dress Your Blog With a Theme

Content is king. But lets be real, we’re all a little shallow which means we want our blog to look as good as it reads (that’s assuming is reads beautifully)!

Enter themes, which like clothes, come in different sizes and colours. And if you’re willing to spend a little money you can even go couture!

However, the main difference between themes and clothes, is that there are thousands of themes for free, even the equivalent of a tailored Armani Suit. I’m going to tell you where to find em, how to pick em and how to install them…
