Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of a large OLED screen in the Porochista Piano represents a significant departure from traditional piano design - could you elaborate on how this technological addition enhances the playing experience while maintaining the instrument's classical essence?
The inclusion of this large display was intended to allow the pianist to perform many tasks directly on it. For example, it can display sheet music while playing, which can be challenging for amateur players who otherwise need to turn pages. With this screen, the pianist can maintain full focus on playing, keeping their hands and feet free to follow the notes without interruption.Another feature is designed for composers, allowing them to save the notes they play using appropriate piano software. This eliminates the need to write music on paper, as the performance is recorded automatically. The pianist can hear their composition immediately, either through built-in speakers, headphones, or via a mechanism where the piano itself plays the notes.Additional digital features have been incorporated so that the piano can operate silently, like a digital piano, allowing practice via headphones without disturbing others. All of these functions are conveniently controlled through the display.
The curved forms and dynamic silhouette of the Porochista Piano draw inspiration from super sports cars - what specific elements from automotive design influenced your approach to reimagining this classical instrument's architecture?
If we look at today’s super sports cars, we notice their remarkable cohesion and seamless design—something that was not possible in the past due to manufacturing limitations. Over time, curved and complex forms have become increasingly prevalent in the automotive industry.In classical pianos, the focus has traditionally been on sound quality rather than external form. However, examining this in the context of automotive art, we see that cars like Rolls-Royce, which represent the highest standards of quality, have deliberately moved away from traditional shapes toward more intricate and dynamic forms. This approach has resulted in avant-garde creations that clearly reflect the passage of time, modernity, and innovation—qualities that are less commonly experienced in today’s acoustic pianos.Curves, seamlessness, material combinations, and forms were all elements inspired by automotive design that influenced the architectural approach of the Porochista Piano.
The matte black finish combined with bronze accents gives the Porochista Piano a distinctive aesthetic presence - how did you arrive at this particular material and color combination to achieve both visual impact and timeless elegance?
Since black is one of the most prominent representatives of the classical category, it can also be the ideal choice for an acoustic piano. Combining it with metal, particularly bronze, creates a unique aesthetic and gives the instrument a distinctive presence and a sense of authenticity.

- Unique Properties
- Porochista is a modern and luxurious acoustic piano for professional pianists who want an acoustic but modern piano. At the same time, digital piano facilities are also considered in Porochista concept. All these features are controlled by a large touch monitor installed on it. Things like recording and playing , displaying notes on the monitor, adjusting the volume and even...

- Production Technology
- According to the curved forms used in the production of Prochista, like the production of a car body, it will require steps such as CNC in different parts, molding and casting.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge in designing this piano was to achieve a dynamic form with a sense of suspension at the rear end, while ensuring good stability. Preserving the overall authenticity of the piano's form in a way that, at first glance, resonates with acoustic piano players and enthusiasts, was another significant design challenge. Additionally, designing details that would still appear distinctive when ordered in different colors, while maintaining simplicity, was crucial
- Research
- During my interior design work, I consistently faced the challenge of not finding unique modern pianos on the market. Available pianos were predominantly classical or, due to unconventional forms, no longer resembled traditional pianos. This led me to design a piano that would capture the attention of interior designers and modern enthusiasts alike, offering a suitable option based on the elements present in their homes or desired spaces. Even during the three-dimensional modeling process, I focused on integrating its internal mechanisms for better cohesion.
- Inspiration
- Porochista's design is inspired by super sports cars with curved and dynamic forms in such a way that the general appearance and form of classical acoustic pianos is preserved and as if it has reached this form over time. The combination of glass, metal and its main body with matte black color will be compatible with any arrangement and those interested in modern and contemporary style can have a different experience of the design of an acoustic piano.
- Project Duration
- Tehran - Zagreb
- Operation Flow
- Prochista has common details with other pianos and it shouldn't be otherwise, but the points that distinguish it are having a large and touch monitor to provide better conditions for the piano player by displaying music notes in an animated form. In addition, the hidden compartment on its upper part allows you to place a notebook on it and just touch a corner of it to come out and lean the book on it.
