Butterfly Piano Gift Model

Discription of Butterfly Piano gift model:

【Project introduction】Fazioli Pianos creates exceptional grand and concert grand pianos. The factory is situated in Sacile, Italy, an area renowned for woodworking. Valuing passion for music,  material selection, innovation, and craftsmanship, FAZIOLI refuses any industrial approach to manufacturing and pursues the objective of uncompromised quality.

The Butterfly piano is a collaboration between Westbank and Fazioli, inspired by the design of Vancouver’s The Butterfly project by the late architect Bing Thom. The piano’s design pays tribute to Thom and takes cues from the building’s vivacious curves and Alexander McQueen’s Shipwreck dress. A 7ft Model F212 Fazioli, the piano is perfect for smaller venues like piano bars and hotel lobbies.

【Production process】QZY Models was commissioned by the client to produce a miniature gift model of its special Butterfly Piano for Fazioli Pianos, a famous Italian piano brand, with a production scale of 1:10.

We carefully studied the production process of the actual piano and used the resulting insights to create a detailed 3D model and drawings. We then used disassembled 3D printing to produce the parts, and the model was manually polished, assembled, and underwent three rounds of coloring before completion. Both the piano cover and keyboard cover of the finished product can be opened and closed. The overall design accurately reflects the actual piano’s unique shape and elegant temperament, making it a successful example of a high-end gift model.

【Final outcome】
