1950's Style Zimmermann Baby Grand Piano Yellow Formica Tubular Steel Piano Lyre

About the Item

A 1950s style, Zimmermann baby grand piano with a contrasting black and yellow formica case. Piano features an asymmetrical music desk with geometric cut-outs. Angular styling is seen throughout the cabinet design. The tapered geometric legs are black with formica accents. The obtusely angled piano cheeks have black contrasting stripe down the cabinet. The minimal tubular steel piano lyre is reminiscent of a sputnik satellite. 1950s Style The post-war boom brought massive changes in the home; it was out with the old and in with the new. The American diner look with bubblegum or primary colours, neon and kitsch became a design classic. New materials were introduced including PVC, Formica, fibreglass, rubber, melamine, aluminium, vinyl, plastics. Abstract and geometric patterns were popular. Scientific research and the space race also informed design.
