Beyond Silence digital piano is a concept music instrument for hearing impaired people, especially children. It would be pretty difficult to grasp the idea of hearing impaired people listen to the music. How can they enjoy the music when they don’t even hear the sound?

Designers : Hakyung Kim, Jina Kim and Suyoung Lee

People think hearing is the only way to enjoy the music, thus, isolating hearing-impaired people from the music. To challenge this perception, three Korean industrial designers have come up with “Beyond Silence” concept, focusing on the fact that hearing-impaired people can sense and feel the vibration of the music.

This concept also helps children to play the piano by feeling the wave and vibration of each tune from the resonance board. The bottom part of Beyond Silence digital piano concept has been designed with a diaphragm to create stronger vibrations and music waves for other hearing-impaired people to feel on the ground.

Johnny Winter is an American blues guitarist and singer, for decades he has relied on his beloved Gibson Firebird guitar. This electric guitar concept is a combination of Gibson and Johnny Winter.

Designer : Flavio Adriani

For anyone who has ever listened to the Gibson Firebird must remember the classic sound came from this spellbinding guitar. Flavio Adriani tried to redesign the shape of the heart which represents the love of Blues. The neck of this electric guitar has been designed with the same shape as the body contour. It features two humbucking pickups near the volume control.
