The piano maintains a form unlike what we've seen in the past or present and boasts a [curvaceous construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-building-culture) that's hollow in the middle with equipment held securely in the top portion. The keyboard area is kept covered by a topper, which opens to reveal a display in the lid for changing settings and more. The Roland 50th Anniversary Concept Model Piano has an 88-key design and is constructed using a series of layered Japanese Nara oak pieces. These features combine to create a stunning instrument for the home that balances the past with the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Curved Instrument Design:** Opportunity to create unique musical instruments with non-traditional, curvaceous designs. - **Innovative Equipment Housing:** Opportunity to develop functional equipment housing that securely holds equipment in non-traditional piano designs. - **Interactive Display Integration:** Opportunity to integrate interactive displays into piano designs to improve user experience and functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Musical Instruments:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional musical instrument design and manufacture with unique, modern, and functional instruments. - **Furniture:** Opportunity to create innovative furniture that combines aesthetics, acoustics, and musical functionality, catering to music enthusiasts. - **Electronics:** Opportunity to develop innovative electronic components and display technology for interactive instrument designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Touchscreen Grand Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porochista.md) - [Digital HD Display Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozart-console-piano.md) - [Performance-Ready Digital Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roland-fpe50.md) - [Digital Motion-Sensing Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roli-piano.md) - [Sculptural Art Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-and-stone-piano-v2.md) - [Stealthy Rare Wooden Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torch-t01.md) - [Radical Majestic Instrument Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ravenchord.md) - [AR Piano Previews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roland-ar.md) - [Eco-Friendly Digital Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddp80-digital-piano.md)
