Poul Henningsen
Poul Henningsen (1894–1967) was one of the most influential Danish designers of the 20th century. He became internationally renowned for his revolutionary lighting designs, which continue to stand as timeless icons today. Less widely known — yet equally extraordinary — was his visionary approach to furniture and instrument design.
His work was guided by a clear philosophy:
i. Function and aesthetics are inseparable
ii. Light, space, and object exist in dialogue
iii. Design serves people — never the other way around
Today’s PH Pianos are based on original concepts from the 1930s, carrying this philosophy forward with uncompromising dedication to form, function, and craftsmanship.
PH Pianos
PH Pianos are not conventional instruments — they are sculptural objects with a musical soul.
Each instrument brings together:
Authenticity
Original designs by Poul Henningsen, officially approved and closely guided by his family
Craftsmanship
Meticulous, highly refined handcraftsmanship in every detail
Materiality
Carefully selected woods, leather, metals, and finishes of exceptional quality
Heritage & Future
Historic instruments transformed and reimagined for a new era
Individuality
Each instrument is a one-of-a-kind creation with its own distinct identity
VIA x TONEART
The collaboration between VIA – Piano & Arts Center and ToneArt goes far beyond a conventional partnership. It is grounded in a shared mindset and a unified vision — with the ambition to rethink the market entirely: moving away from the standardized traditional instrument toward a design object that unites history, design, and sound within a single form.
This vision is also reflected in our concrete collaboration, where we jointly position instruments as unique works of art.
