# Symphonic Steps The Piano Staircase for the Musically Inclined By Alex Scott | Published 2010-01-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piano-staircase References: [loudreams](http://www.loudreams.com/category/humor/) & [rolighetsteorin.se](http://www.rolighetsteorin.se/) I bet you wish you could [make music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro) with your feet, don’t you? If you move to Sweden you can make that dream a reality with the piano staircase. Created by the Swedish group Rolighetsteorin, the piano staircase is actually tuned to that of a [real piano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roli-piano-system) so you can go through the entire scale simply by running up and down the stairs. You might need some pretty long legs and good balance to actually manage playing a song on the piano staircase. I just wouldn’t suggest playing one of Beethoven’s symphonies your first time on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Stairs:** Opportunity for creating interactive staircases that combine fun and functionality. - **Musical Innovations:** Potential for developing new musical instruments and experiences that engage people through unconventional means. - **Playful Design:** Demand for creative and playful design elements that enhance user engagement and interaction. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Disruptive opportunity for architects to integrate interactive elements into building designs. - **Music Education:** Innovative music education programs can leverage interactive technologies to make learning fun and accessible. - **Entertainment:** Opportunities for entertainment venues to create unique experiences that captivate and entertain audiences through interactive installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Talking Robotic Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopstix.md) - [Touchscreen Grand Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porochista.md) - [Concrete Spiral Staircase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadenza.md) - [Digital Motion-Sensing Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roli-piano.md) - [Sculptural Staircase Penthouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frederic-chopin.md) - [Spirally Viewpoint Bridge Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-clef-bridge.md) - [Digital HD Display Pianos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozart-console-piano.md) - [Stackable Modular Synths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3tonic.md) - [Personalized Piano Learning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misolla-music.md)
