Apostol Thokovski

I am not normally a fan of Lady Gaga. Although her fashion can be very interesting, other then that, I don't really rock out to her music. Then one day, last week, I saw the Hydra piano designed by Apostol Thokovski. I know that I was supposed to focus on a designer and then his work and some interesting facts. But I really want to show this design. I myself am a piano player, and when I saw this piano it blew my mind. So much different then the boxy piano we see, and that's what made Apostol Thokovski go to the drawing board. He thought that the boxy piano was not a good piano for Lady Gaga. 
 





The fluidity of the piece is amazing. Almost like pulling taffy, stretching it out. The glossy black and white make the piece visually appealing, it doesn't need big colors.  
The piece was based of the mythological creature "Hydra". Who inhabits under the sea thus the very smooth lines of the piano, an underwater like design. 
""Apostol Thokovski is a brilliant designer and has designed different products and made them visually very appealing. He believes that apart from the functional efficiency of the product it is important how good and appealing it looks. If he doesn't like the look of something he redesigns it increase its visual appeal."
