The Baby unveiled by Based Upon
The Baby is a spectacular piano hand-sculpted by Based Upon, a London-based artist studio, renowned for its unique and innovative contemporary British art.
Inspired by patterns in nature
The famous art studio Based Upon created The Baby, a piano that was originally a very fine-looking hand-made sculpture that took 9 years to design!
The Baby’s form is based on the Golden Spiral omnipresent throughout our universe: from star-studded galaxies to the florets in a sunflower. The fluid curves of The Baby depict these mysterious patterns, so prevalent in nature.
The sculptural Twist form is the result of ten years of design evolution. To date the Twist has appeared as a handful of sculptural furniture pieces and is now reimagined as an astonishing piano.
The tri-oval top elevates, appearing to twist away from its base, to reveal a baby grand piano. Exclusive hand-finished metals and seductively tactile resins reflect the artist’s studies of the earth’s surface—and scenes taken from outer space.
A masterpiece inside and out
Inside The Baby is a small Goldfinch grand piano, handcrafted from solid spruce sourced from the Val di Fiemme in the Northern Italian Alps, the same region where Stradivarius crafted his finest violins. The keyboard, engineered in England, features laminated hardwood to ensure stability and resistance to potential movement or decay.
For a rich and resonant tone, the piano incorporates custom-made hammers from Germany. The action mechanism guarantees precision in response and resists the effects of changing climates.
