Sebastian Errazuriz’s Dangling Piano

In the Studio

Available for over a year

Chilean artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz is best known for his innovative, provocative and playful designs from wooden cabinets that open out like paper fans to major public art projects and 3-D printed women’s shoes. For five years he worked in his studio with a piano suspended overhead. For him, it was a tool, a reminder of the transience of life and to knuckle down and get to work! His suspended piano has since become a feature at the New York Armoury Art Show. For the BBC, Tara Gadomski went to meet Errazuriz and his piano to find out about the extraordinary techniques this artist uses to focus the mind and encourage the creative muse to flow.
