Based Upon, the creative powerhouse based in London, has introduced a breathtaking new masterpiece to its portfolio – Twist/D piano. This isn’t just an instrument; it’s a bold reimagining of what a piano can be, transforming an everyday object into a stunning piece of art that could easily be the centerpiece of a grand exhibition.

The studio, renowned for its collaborations with luxury giants like Rolls-Royce and Tiffany & Co., has always had a knack for creating designs that not only catch the eye but also capture the heart. Following the warm reception of “The Baby,” a limited series of five baby grand pianos, the Twist/D aims to make a similarly profound impact. How often do we see something everyday like a piano turned into a piece that could command the attention of any room it’s in"
Ian Abell, the visionary at the helm of Based Upon, believes in the delicate balance between beauty and practicality. He has always viewed the piano not just as a musical instrument but as a canvas for artistic expression. “Our goal has been to create a credible piece of art that preserves the integrity of the instrument,” says Abell. The Twist/D does just that, enhancing the musical journey for both the player and the audience. It’s an autonomous piano that merges the art of sculpture with sophisticated technical features, ensuring the resonance and touch of a world-class concert grand.
