A Steinway Masterpiece Collection Featuring Studio PaelisStraw Marquetry
Traditional craftsmanship meets musical excellence
The Straw Marquetry Masterpiece Collection was created in collaboration with Studio Paelis, a straw marquetry atelier based in Lyon. The collection showcases the historic, decorative art of straw marquetry, applied to the inside of the lid and the music desk of the limited-edition grand piano, uniting centuries-old craftsmanship with the musical excellence of Steinway & Sons.
Two Distinctive Designs
Drawing its inspiration from sound itself, the straws are arranged in gentle, flowing rings that spread outward like waves on water, evoking the invisible movement of music through the air.
Three Color VariationsNatural, Blue, and Black
These hues, which are central to the identity of Studio Paelis, were a natural choice for this collaboration: their softness, depth, and visual strength reflect the understated elegance that distinguishes the Steinway universe, lending each instrument a serene presence.
