Aria: sound takes flight

Aria: sound takes flight

Aria is all about the music, with a dual vocation: it decorates majestic, prestigious venues, being naturally suited to yachts, boats, palaces, hotels and concert halls.

The design evokes feather-light, airy flight. A sound sculpture that takes on a living form, free from any sense of weight, inertia or staticity. The original visual idea is inspired by a symbolic figure: a bird opening up its left wing, keeping its right wing close to its body, just before taking off in full flight. The sense of lightness in the flight is increased by the intense dark blue colour and the vivid silver of the aluminium. The colour of the skies, of the breadth, the colour of Aria.

Shapes and colours blend into one another to form a single, dynamic whole that recalls the design of a wave, the silhouette of a fish and the flight of a bird. This instrument lives in the air, together with the sound it produces. Its asymmetrical shape is striking and distinguishes every angle, each different from the last, sparking a playful exploration of “tidy disorder”. The piano with its single support creates sustained, dilated acoustics which extend beyond the traditional duration. The low notes reach an unprecedented depth and fullness thanks to the conformation of the basement. With Aria, sound takes flights.

The FAZIOLI last special creation will be presented in Milan during Fuorisalone 2016. From April 12th to 17th at the Fazioli Showroom, Via Conservatorio 17 (corner Corso Monforte), from 10 am to 1 pm and from 2pm to 7 pm, you can admire and try this prestigious musical instrument.

There are two presentation events, Wednesday, April 13 at 19.00, with the presence of engineer Paolo Fazioli, founder and president of the company, and architect Philippe Gendre (NTY Line), ARIA designer. On this occasion, Alessandro Deljavan will perform on the piano the entire work of Chopin's studies.

Instead, Saturday, April 16, again at 19.00, Luca Ciammarughi will explain the new Aria performing music by Rameau and Schubert.
