Antique Ebony and Ivory Piano Keys & Veneered Lid, Powder-coated Steel Inspiration Partly in response to my experience of working with fiberglass materials, for my next project I turned my hand to the ubiquitous upright piano that still holds a special place many hearts and homes around the country. Rightly so, as most were hand crafted and many possess beautiful materials such as ebony, ivory and oak as well as exotic veneers. Discovering that some of these piano’s were being destroyed was my motivation to create new objects that gave these wonderful instruments a new purpose. I have created a series of pieces from a coffee table to a hanging lamp as well as being commissioned by a well-known Irish Uilleann piper to transform his old upright into a new writing desk for his home.
