Presenting the Anima Piano Desk by Mars Built.
The Anima is an heirloom piece of furniture designed to enhance creativity and joy for living and is made to order to accommodate your specific keyboard.
I will work with you to collect all the details necessary to build your custom Anima. I carefully select long board timber with unique and continuous grain and figure to composite the beautiful waterfall lines. Whenever possible, I use lumber that has been rescued from urban forests. This piece is built with premium Walnut hardwood.
The lid utilizes SOSS hidden hinges which allow for an unobstructed flat top when closed. This allows the Anima to double as a quality writing desk or console table. When the lid is open a unique sheet music support panel presents itself. The panel attaches flat to the lid via brass thumb screws for storage and slides into an angled groove when in use. The support panel provides the opportunity to present a unique slice of timber or veneer, in this piece the support panel is made from a beautiful slice of Spalted Quarter Sawn Sycamore.
The casework features waterfall joints supported by brass inserts.
The legs are tapered on two sides and are capped with solid hand-shaped brass feet and levelers.
The bottom features cable management access ports.
Each piece is customizable to accommodate a variety of keyboards. The Anima works best with narrow and smaller keyboards where the depth of the piece is kept under 19". It works well as a small console table or writing desk.
The piece is finished with a best in class hard wax oil with a satin sheen.
The Anima Piano Desk will be a beautiful addition to any home that will be loved for generations.
