OBJECTS OF DESIRE
Bosendorfer has been making pianos for nearly two centuries; long before Audi was but a twinkle in August Horch's eye, the Austrian firm was crafting instruments for emperors. So, an Audi/ Bosendorfer team-up isn't perhaps the most obvious way to celebrate the former's centenary. Nevertheless, the engineers and the artisans have worked together to produce the Audi Design Grand, a piano that's true to both companies' exacting standards. The one-off design will punch a crater in your bank balance to the tune of a whopping [euro]100,000 ([pounds sterling]90,000). boesendorfer.com
