The PX-S7000 Recognized as a Gold Winner in the Smart Home – Home Entertainment Category and a Silver Winner in the Musical Instrument – Keyboards Category
DOVER, N.J., May 9, 2023 - Casio America, Inc., the world's leading provider of powerful and affordable musical instruments, is a proud recipient of two NY Product Design Awards for the latest addition to the PRIVIA series of digital pianos, the PX-S7000. The PX-S7000 was named a Gold Winner in the Smart Home – Home Entertainment Category and a Silver Winner in the Musical Instrument – Keyboards Category.
With the hopes of honoring and promoting product designers, whose work makes the world a better place, the NY Product Design Awards was created. The competition opens its doors to both professionals and enthusiasts to spotlight the importance of product design, as the consumption of goods becomes more complex and the world becomes more integrated and connected.
"We are honored that the NY Product Design Awards recognizes the excellence of the PX-S7000 for not only its aesthetics but for its robust capabilities as well," said Stephen Schmidt, vice president of Casio's Electronic Musical Instruments Division. "Our goal when designing the PX-S7000 was to create not only a premium instrument but a beautiful piece of décor as well. We're extremely grateful to the jury of judges for awarding us these honors."
Inspired by the concept of "Style, Reimagined," the PX-S7000 makes for a stunning musical centerpiece for any home. Sophisticated yet simplistic, the PX-S7000 features a crisp mid-century modern design, wood-grain accents, and three choices of finishes, including a striking Harmonious Mustard color that evokes vintage musical gear and fine European furniture yet blends remarkably well with any decor. A sleek and sturdy minimalist stand with an integrated triple-pedal assembly perfectly complements a transparent music stand that makes the PX-S7000 beautiful from every angle, giving you the freedom to place it anywhere in your home.
"The competition is eager to congratulate Casio for their awards and would like to commend them for their works, which truly shine a positive light on the future of design," Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of the International Awards Associate (IAA), remarked. "Their design approach takes into consideration both ease of use and measurable benefits which is certainly something to be proud of."
