The Piano Desk is an absolute masterpiece worthy of Beethoven status. As its name suggests, it is a piano that has been stunningly converted into a desk. Although it will never play another note again, the Piano Desk continues to serve an important purpose. In this case, it is now the workstation of Sarah Dodd, one half of the Austin-based Grammy-nominated creative duo known as Backstage Designs. For those who want a ghost of a sound, Dodd writes, "the only thing left to play is to flick the strings in the back."
An appropriate creation for a music-loving individual, the Piano Desk was created in large part by Cody Foote. A stunning addition to any home, it is beautiful to witness a second chance at life.
