An undeniable genius of 20th century decorative art, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann naturally became interested in the piano as part of his work as a designer. Driven by the ambition to renew French taste in furniture and interior decoration, he created for the Pleyel company several models of piano with geometrical, trapezoidal and uncluttered shapes for interiors that he was asked to create in terms of architecture and furniture. This contemporary version of the "1937" piano with its Naccarat red lacquer finish brings a touch of modernity to this already timeless instrument. It was made specifically at the request of one of France’s most renowned interior decorators to be placed in a magnificent Monegasque residence.
