In honor of Steinway's 160th anniversary, we are proud to announce The Arabesque Series, our latest Limited Edition collaboration with renowned furniture designer Dakota Jackson. In ballet, an arabesque is a pose that embodies grace and perfect balance. 

The pleasing impression of lightness one senses with the Arabesque is achieved in part by the special shape and surface design of the rim. Contrary to its actual weight, the rim appears lifted and suspended in the air thanks to the artfully beveled lower edges, hand adjusted by the Steinway master craftsmen. heightening this impression of weightless ease are two silver bands running cleanly along the rim's lacquered surface. The unique shape of the arms to the left and right of the keyboard likewise enhances this design.
